A CENTURY OF FILM AND TELEVISION This book has been at least a quarter of the century in the making and along the way I have accumulated staggering debts from many generous and wonderful people. At the top of the list are the veteran members of the Shakespeare on Film Seminar at the meetings of the Shakespeare Association of America and the International Shakespeare Association who from Tokyo to Cleveland and Los Angeles to Stratford-upon-Avon have patiently read and critiqued my annual contributions. They include H.R. Coursen, Samuel Crowl, Anthony Davies, Peter S. Donaldson, Lawrence Gunhter, Russell Jackson, Jack J. J orgens, James H. Lake, R. Thomas Simone, Robert F. Willson, Jr., and many others whose friendship and collegiality have become especially meaningful to me.
