Description
Leslie Halliwell's life and work are brought to vivid life in this first full biography. As chief buyer for ITV, Halliwell played a significant role in bringing popular films and shows to British television screens in the 1970s and 80s. Halliwell is perhaps best known for compiling The Filmgoer's Companion, the first one-volume reference book devoted to all aspects of cinema. His promotion of film through his books and seasons of 'golden oldies' on Channel 4 earned him recognition from the London Film Critics' Circle and the British Film Institute, as well as a posthumous BAFTA. This biography combines exhaustive research with critical insight and affectionate regard, offering a nuanced portrait of Halliwell's life and legacy.
