Halliwell's Film Guide.......2006-11-06
As a very amateur film buff I have always enjoyed reading Halliwell's Film Guide. Ever since I saw my father's copy from the early 1980s I've admired the amount of coverage each film gets. The beauty about film guides is you can totally disagree with the review that is written. That is really the point. People have different reasons for liking movies and you can debate till the cows come home about how good a movie is. One of my favourite movies is Star Wars. My mate and I always have this debate about A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and which is the better movie. The same can be said about how many stars these two movies have received. For example, in the past Empire had three stars and now it has four. Why? Obviously John Walker thinks so. But that is splitting hairs. I dont agree with some of his changes to ratings, like Alien going from the original 1 star to 4, but that helps fuel debate. On the whole you can't beat Halliwell's for the comprehensive coverage it provides and the amusing write ups it gives. However, I only give this version four stars because of the use of orange in the writing of the titles and the stars. If you spend a lot of time reading the book you can practically get a headache trying to see what the titles are and how many stars the movie has. Hopefully the next version will use a different colour and that will makes things easier.
A continuing marring of a great work - but don't forget the underlying greatness.......2006-05-23
As a long-time Halliwell admirer, I completely agree with the critical points made in the lengthy review submitted by "bobby j" on February 10, 2006 - that is, that the Halliwell guide has been badly marred since Mr. Halliwell's death in 1989. I would add, though, that the guide inevitably retains some significant value in that the overwhelming part of the guide's content respecting Golden Age films of the 1930s and 1940s remains intact as left by Mr. Halliwell and is for that reason a potential revelation to younger film-goers who may even have no idea who Mr. Halliwell ever was. In this sense, even this much disfigured edition of Halliwell's work remains far and away better as a guide to Golden Age movies than does any other guide in the market (of course, the 1989 7th edition, the last put out by Mr. Halliwell himself, is the ideal one to get for this purpose).
In order to give some balance, I set forth here a review I gave of the 2001 edition as earlier edited by Mr. Walker: "In spite of certain limitations, Halliwell's guide far surpasses any other. From 1965 until 1989, Leslie Halliwell wrote every word of his reviews personally, not by committee. He wrote with definite prejudices: he loved Golden Age movies that represented the best products of the studio system; he loved wholesome, unpretentious movies that sought simply to entertain as well as weightier films; he hated arty films for talking down to audiences and for failing to entertain; he hated 70s-style films that featured solely unattractive characters; he rated films for how they fared as a collective effort by many contributors, not as the mystical work of, say, a director; he rated films very strictly, giving, perhaps, no more than 10% of all his reviews either a 3 or 4 star rating (on a scale of 0 to 4), with most getting no more than 1 star. In short, he went against many modern trends in film, making him a gem for those valuing perspective and sharp judgment while eschewing fads and fashions. And he wrote as a highly gifted man with a 50s Cambridge education and an apt, pithy manner of expression. This, then, is the nearest one can come in the world of film reviewers to what may be regarded as a sure guide to quality. The updates since Mr. Halliwell's death in 1989 have paralleled what is more typically found in other popular reviewers, which, while mildly disappointing, still does not detract materially from the continuing power of the work. Halliwell with a few warts is still far and away the best, given that the essential Halliwell remains. Highly recommended."
Here is what I said about the 2002 edition: "This lowers [to 3 stars] a 5-star recommendation given in an earlier review based on a previous edition of this guide. The latest edition leaves intact Mr. Halliwell's reviews for films before 1965 and these remain invaluable. But Mr. Walker's tampering with later reviews is now extensive and has added only pretentiousness and poor judgment to the product. The work remains exceptional for Golden Age movies; otherwise, caveat emptor."
I have retained a 3-star rating for this edition only because the "Halliwell part" remains so superior to anything else out there. Of the 23,000 films reviewed in the 2006 edition, 16,000 are carry-forwards of reviews written by Mr. Halliwell himself and the vast majority of these have not yet been tampered with. For movies released before 1965 - still the "core" of the work - there is still nothing else comparable in the market. With much more tampering, especially with this "core" part, this work may indeed become so bad as to be not worth considering. It is nowhere close to that yet, notwithstanding the recent hack work. Therefore, get the 1989 7th edition if you can; if you can't, don't overlook the jewel that remains buried beneath the unattractive covering placed over it in recent editions.
The Fall of a Great Film Guide................2006-02-11
Long before the Christmas shelves were full of film guides and before every publisher caught on that there was a market out there, Halliwell's was king. And far superrior to Leanard Maltin's facile effort, which used to be the only other reference around.
This book was indispensible for a whole generation and was even the basis for a short story. Unfortunately, since his death in 1989, the book has been revised again and again, until now it's almost a pale shadow of it's former self. Think of the difference between The Godfather parts 2 and 3, yes, it's that big a gulf.
Leslie Halliwell's ratings of films had become tougher and tougher on any made after 1960- with only four films from that decade given the four star rating. This was plain silly. His tastes were very conservative, blindgly so some times - with foreign and colour films given shirt shrift. But that rating was a cast iron guarantee that it was something special. Something to stay in for. If he gave a film two stars, you'd stay in because it was going to be entertaining. Three stars and you'd forget your plans. Four stars and you forget the world. And these were very, very rare.
On his death I brought a hardback edition in case it went pear-shaped and crumbled into silliness, and since Mr. John Walker has taken over- I'm glad that i did and wish I had brought a dozen editions. Not only are Mr. Walker's comments very unenlightening, you always got the impression that Halliwell had deliberated over the wording, so that even the briefest critique seemed fully-realised by an educated mind alive to cinema, but not Mr Walker's. Virtually every entry is vastly over-rated, with no glimmer of thought behind the utterly one-dimensional wording. Every dumb-ass movie, all those passing fads of the last 15 years has been evaluated & given merit way beyond their value. I remember watching one of his first recommendations ('8 Men Out' rated three stars and was in shock that I'd been let down for the first time in a decade by THE BOOK. And it's happened again and again). His contributions have the statue of a third-rate, fickle hacks - from a down-market grungy tabloid.
Some of the ratings are plain silly, The Terminator gets a tight-fisted one star by Halliwell (it should have been at least ***), while Walker gives the empty and souless special effects vessel Terminator 2- two stars. Check out Speed (***), or any of the other dumbed down intended blockbusters churned out every summer to see how they are rated ('Independence Day' & 'Titanic' two stars). Many of these movies are the modern eqivelant of those long tedious wide-screen Epics of the '50s. With Halliwell's original guide, you grew to form your own opinions and argue for your own favourites, like the 'The Ghost and Mrs Muir' & 'The Manchurian Candidate'. Even rock documentaires have been added into the brew and they are a matter of taste in music as much as the cutting and shaping.
The book is no longer a guide to a quality night in. Even worse than all the poor reviews during Mr. Walker's tenure, is the ditching of the forewords and essays by the founder of the guide for each edition, giving his pets hates and his percieved disappointments in the changing face of the media since the last edition. This now robs the guide of a sense of perspective and personality - which would draw in the reader, when it would have been wiser for Mr. Walker to have add his own essay.
Another gripe is the look of the entries themselves. Where they had been streamlined before, tightly constucted, and smart-with italics to denote a contribution of a very high standard, Mr Walker seems to have been playing with those little computer tools of his. The film sypnosis' have been italicised, and anything else he could find to play about with. The italics are no longer eye-catching, there is now far too much information italicised. So that nothing catches the attention. Sometimes, as with movies, less is more.
Anyway, who cares if it's on DVD or Video? This information dates so easily. What's the point? All it takes to find out this info, is to tap it into Amazon. Duh!
In every edition that he has edited, Walker has made huge blunders of judgement and not just in the film ratings and those gripes listed above. There are now several pages devoted to solely listing all the 3 and 4 star rated movies, both by year and alphabetically. One of the pleasures of the Halliwell guides was to find those treasures on your own and because they were so infrequent they genuinely would stand out and then you'd have that buzz of discovery. Not here, now. By providing everything, the reader no longer invests anything into the discovery. This is basic psychology 101.
In this edition he has eliminated 1 star from nearly 25 or so vintage masterpieces that were rated so by the original founder of the guide. EG: 'Scarface' (1932), 'I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang', 'Wuthering Heights', 'The Letter', 'Rebecca', 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn', ect, ect. This serously damages the historical prespective of the early '30s. Those films have a raw primitive edginess and toughness - & they still draw you in. Maybe all the special effects and whizzing camera-work of modern films has corrupted his ability to see this. He looks but he doesn't see. The '40s - an incredible decade is becoming more and more sparse and mundane. 'The Cabinet of Caligari' (a tedious but mightily important German 1919 film) - was said by Halliwell to have been 'faded' but given, like 'A Birth of a Nation' the 4 stars for it's landmark contribution to cinematic-development. What next, maybe 'The Jazz Singer' can be reduced too. The Original was an entertainment guide and educational. The last word can now be scratched off.
This latest edition also features a new gimmick; every page and entry is colour-coded. Yep, not content with with his italic tools from previous editions, he's now got the colours out too. A bright, garish ORANGE for all movie titles, and in between deviding lines, and any other elements. They burn the eyes after awhile.
What this amounts to is a cack-handed trivilastion of another man's great work that goes against the grain of the original, offering huge disparities in stylish presentation, crituques, and a monuemental dumbing down. At each step and in each decision, Walker's Edited Guide has always chosen the short end, the low road, the simplton's way, the talk-down. He has never ever granted intelligence towards the reader/researcher/browser. If a rival guide had wanted to ruin an indipensible book, they couldn't have asked for greater assistence. For those that live in Britain, it's the eqivelent of the esteemed Barry Norman being replaced by Jonathen Ross for the BBC's seminal film review programme.
The work put into this Guide by Walker - change for changes sake - a kind of perpetual revolution for revolutions sake, rather like an insecure political party trying to mould the world to it's image -begets the question, did you ever like the original, mr. Walker?
It's now so 'relevant' and for 'modern' tastes, that they don't even bother to issue a hard-back edition. The story of this guide is the story of the fall of a five star and indispensible family reference book - a landmark in its field one of the nation's favourite reference works -into a mundane a shrivelled ghost of it's former self.
So do yourself a favour and get a second hand copy before Halliwell died, which is the seventh edition from 1989- try 'ablebooks' (http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchEntry). You'll find him tenacious and tight-fisted, but the films he chooses will have some merit to them and you'll amend the ratings of your favourites in your own mind. For newer entries, go for the superb Time Out film guide, which has been the only one to match HALLIWELL'S in quality.....they will give all that you need. Good viewing.

For Movie Lovers.......2007-01-10
This book is extremely comprehensive in scope -- and quite compact in size. Actually, my only negative relates to the size. The print is very small -- be prepared to need good light if your eyesight is anything less than perfect. The movie reviews are concise and, I find, pretty reliable.
I like the fact that you can reference by title, cast members, and director.
Favor for friends.......2006-08-21
I bought this for friends who live over in England. They had bought the 2001 edition while living here in the U.S. They swore by the 2001 edition and used it constantly. They called to report it was falling apart, and they could not find a replacement in England. I found the 2006 version on Amazon.com; bought it; and had it shipped directly to them in England. It was delivered within 10 days. They called to report it had arrived and were very pleased.
Excellent book.......2006-07-16
This is not the most comprehensive book of this type that I have seen, but it is by far the best for its size. I will always have one in my library.
the best we know of.......2006-03-12
We've tried several other guides over the years but always come back to this one. Get a magnifying glass, though!
Reading the Fine Print.......2006-02-25
For me, this will always be the best source for DVD and video information but the downsizing of the book and the print this year is a bit ridiculous. My reading glasses aren't much help with this tiny Advil bottle print. I need to be able to read what's in the book in order to give it the 5 stars I would otherwise award it. Hopefully, the 2007 edition will return to the more easily readable 2005 format.

Plagiarism and more.......2006-07-26
This hasn't improved much from previous editions and is still as bad as they come. Ever hear of the composer Grofe (Grand Canyon Suite, Mississippi Suite, etc.)? Well, you won't find him reviewed here. How about Gloria Coates? Surely they must cover Peter Maxwell Davies (the renown English composer)? Nope! William Bolcom, Kamra Ince, Henri Lazarof, Bo Linde, George McKay, Mieczyslaw Vainberg, Morton Feldman? None of these either. And the section on Charles Ives, Ernest Bloch and many others is pathetically small. The Rimsky-Korsakov orchestral masterpiece, Scheherazade gets several less-than-optimal recommendations (compared with over 40 in the Third Ear). The examples of this books failings go on and on.
I could go on but I'm getting tired of typing and I've embarrassed them enough so I'll stop. In summary, this book addresses the ho-hum standard stuff that most everyone knows already. Check Schnabel out for good mono recordings of the Beethoven sonatas, Gieseking did a great job on Debussy works in the 50's but the sound is not good by today's standards, etc, etc..
Not a good shopping guide--way too many gaps and you'll miss the good stuff if you use it. Worse, it's misleading. Oh, and did I mention the chubby, hard-to-use design of the book itself? The book has a lot of pages because of the small page dimensions; the Third Ear, by comparison, has 25% larger pages with almost as many pages (same sized print). The Gramophone Guide won't stay open and looks fat but really is skinny on recommendations and educational value.
Finally, to tie-in my title for this review. The Gramophone Guide and the Penguin Guide sometimes say, almost word-for-word, the exact same thing. I will cite just one example here but I've run into others. Read the review of DG's remastered release of Wilhelm Kempff's 50's cycle of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas in both the Penguin and Gramophone Guides. I quote, "Those who have cherished Kempff's later, stereo style for it's magical spontaneity will find this conveyed more intensively in his mono set, recorded between 1951 and 1956." With the exception of one word and the addition of an adjective, the same sentence appears in both books. So, there's no doubt that these people read each other's books and copy choice sentences and perhaps don't even listen actually to all of the music that they're reviewing.
So, who's copying from whom? Maybe it goes both ways or maybe just one way, it's impossible to tell. But with all of the other faults that this book has I wouldn't pay the postage to have it shipped to me if it were free. It may be worthwhile checking the Gramophone out of a library for occasional reference or to read an essay, but if you want a book worthy of purchase, get the Third Ear. It's not perfect, but much better written, honest and it covers almost every composer that you've ever heard of.
A nice updating of a standard guide to classical CDs.......2006-03-16
I recently decided to buy new editions of my increasingly bent and battered and out of date Gramophone and Penguin guides to classical CDs. With a limited budget for classical recordings, I find it essential to have a few guides around to guide me in my buying. And it truly is essential to have more than one. Anyone relying solely on the Penguin or Gramophone or any other classical guide is apt to be buying unknowingly into a particular set of biases. The Gramophone guide, like the publication upon which it is based, is irritatingly biased against American orchestras, for instance, a serious flaw for someone living in the U.S. as I do. If one spends time with a guide, one gets to know its biases and slants and shortcomings and strengths.
Both the strengths and many of the weaknesses of this guide are easy to discern. One thing to note of the Gramophone guide is that far more than the Penguin guide it doubles as a guide not merely to recordings, but to music. Each composer is introduced with a brief biography. These are quite informative and reach the same kind of length one sees in one-volume encyclopedias such as THE COLUMBIA ENCYCLOPEDIA. There is also a great deal of helpful prefatory matter, including a series of brief introductions to the history of music featuring a highlighting of some of the key recordings of pieces from each period. There is also a list of what they regard as among the greatest recordings ever committed to CD as well as a list of the basic works for a library of classical music. The latter does not recommend specific recordings, but compositions by specific composers. The two lists are both overlap and are exclusive of one another. Karajan's famous recording of Wagner's PARWIFAL, for instance, makes the former list but not the latter. Some people don't like guide to make stands. I do. I want them to be bold and say precisely what they recommend that I buy. I can learn when to trust and when to question their judgment.
Compared to the Penguin guide, the Gramophone lists vastly fewer CDs. That may seem odd given the thickness of the book, but it is true. Penguin tends to rate a vast number of discs but says a lot less about each one. Penguin also strives to review discs on all imaginable works by virtually every composer, while Gramophone skips many of the minor composers and typically reviews only two to four recordings of even major works. The one exception to the latter are the very helpful sidebars that compare seven or eight recordings of some of the most crucial pieces of classical music, such as the best recordings of Beethoven's late quartets or the finest recordings of Bruckner's 8th Symphony. Gramophone therefore is a much more in depth guide, but it lacks the Penguin guide's breadth.
One serious shortcoming of Gramophone's less-is-more approach is that it gives little guidance on the bulk of the recordings one is likely to encounter. For instance, if you hit used CD stores or otherwise come across classical CDs, you might want to know if this rogue CD is any good or not. Gramophone's help is apt to be very limited. Penguin is definitely the better guide in this regard. Still, Penguin is necessarily more limited in what it can say about each CD. But as I've recommended getting not one but both of the guides, each guide can help overcome the limitations of the other. Also, each one allows you to take the recommendations of the other with a grain of salt. I think this is especially necessary with the Gramophone guide. Over time I have found their recommendations--indeed, their passions--to be a bit on the quirky side. They are a bit more excited about period recordings, for instance, than I am.
Still and all, anyone buying more than a very few classical CDs definitely should plan on picking this up.
Fresh, updated and GOOD as ever.......2006-02-27
If you already have previous volumes of The Gramophone Guide and are wondering if there is anything new, the answer is YES. Most notable are the fresh-looking "quick reference" boxes that summarize the major, top recording choices in a verticle column for many major repertoire categories (like Beethoven's Piano Sonatas, Mozart's Piano Concertos, Chopin's Nocturnes, etc). This allows a quick, at-a-glance overview of the top choices without reading through each separate review. Also to note is the change from "Gramophone Award" to their new "Gold Star" Award - perhaps alligning closer to Penguin Guide's "Rosette" award citing and icon. I wouldn't doubt a new line of CD's featuring this bright cellestial logo gracing the cover. Other new things include hundreds of new CD recommendations, an expanded DVD section, a nifty guide to Mozart's 250th anniversary and a primer to downloading classical music (yes, it will finally happen).
For those new to the many classical music guides, perhaps I can offer some insights into finding the one best suited to your interests based on several years of using all of them. The first step is to determine if you want a "buying guide" that reviews, critiques and compares in detail the many CD/DVD choices - or more a guide to explore the major composers and their most notable works with just a couple recording recommendations. For buying guides, there are three main ones, each offering something unique and valuable: THE GRAMOPHONE, THE PENGUIN GUIDE and THE THIRD EAR GUIDE TO CLASSICAL MUSIC. By contrast, the many other guides referenced later are more guides to the history of classical music (major composers, works, eras) and give only 1-3 recording recommendations without much comment, critique or comparison.
The most comprehensive of the buying guides is THE PENGUIN GUIDE which lists by far the most recordings available and gives quality, in-depth reviews. To many collectors, it is the indisputable first choice reference, mainly for its sheer number of listings and completeness of repertoire. Additionally, their "Key Recordings" and "Rosette Award" citings are also helpful to note the truly exceptional and legendary recordings. Their ratings are on a three-star system. However, most recordings below two stars do not make the cut - as it is impracticle to list all recordings ever produced or in the catalog.
Next, THE GRAMOPHONE also only lists the "creme" with recommendations that are even more "distilled" than Penguin Guide's listings. For example, where Penguin lists some 10 recordings for a given work, Gramophone will often only list their top 1-3 choices. Many of these will be historic recordings (Schnabel, Casels ...), which unfortunately leaves less room for some of the newer talents and budget releases which often are excellent. Some will value this narrowing of choices, others will feel cheated of options. Personally, I've acquired many superb recordings not mentioned at all in Gramophone that other guides strongly recommended. But, Gramophone is indispensible to the serious collector for their expert opinion and very well-written, enlightening reviews (many which can be had off their website too). Also, occassionally in either of these two British guides there are prominant recordings not listed (often American or non-EU artists/labels). One example are the fine Chopin recordings by American Garrick Ohlsson on the Arabesque label.
However, omissions such as Ohlsson will often be listed in the THIRD EAR GUIDE TO CLASSICAL MUSIC - the American answer to Penguin. The Third Ear Guide gives more opinionated (and often less-polite) critiques as well as excellent background info on the composers, compositions and performers that the British one's do not have. However, it is often inconsistent and woefully incomplete in its listings of some parts of the repertoire. Nevertheless, it is really delightful and fascinating to read for its level of detail (like the several-page review the many recordings of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas).
The next several guides do NOT compare and contrast recordings, but offer different facets of discovery of the classical music repertoire. If your interest is to learn about the music in detail, then The ALL MUSIC GUIDE is an excellent choice, giving detailed descriptions of the major repertoire (program notes). Their CD recommendations are up-to-date and fairly reliable, but the extremely tiny print might be a limitation to some readers. A similar encyclopedia-type guide to consider is the OMNIBUS GUIDE TO CLASSICAL MUSIC which is more a broad-brush overview of the MAJOR repertoire works, their history and a few recording recommendations in a plain format. If you like spicy, outright opinionated guides, then JIM SVEJDA'S GUIDE stands alone. His reviews are entertaining, witty and often irreverant. But, it is not a comprensive review guide as it covers only a smattering of the MAJOR repertoire and his favorites of several decades of radio experience.
Last, if your interest is mainly learning the history of classical music and merely to get a couple reliable CD recommendations in a reasonably sized book... then three great choices stand out: "THE ROUGH GUIDE TO CLASSICAL MUSIC," the witty "NPR GUIDE TO BUILDING A COLLECTION" or David Dubal's "ESSENTIAL CANNON OF CLASSICAL MUSIC." The last is the most musically and historically in-depth (my favorite) with marvelously detailed biographies of the major and minor composers and main music eras (Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern). The Rough Guide gets kudos though for its excellent CD recommendations (one or two per work) and colorful layout.
Serious collectors will have at least the first three major CD Guides mentioned as each brings something unique and valuable to the research process. There is a lot to be said about multiple opinions to get at the full truth of the matter (as music is a highly subjective topic). I use them all regularly and wouldn't be without one.
