Review of The Dinosaur Films of Ray Harryhausen:

Movie fans of a certain age idolize Ray Harryhausen, the special-effects genius behind such classic films as Jason and the Argonauts and The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad. In this enthusiastic book, Roy P. Webber focuses on Harryhausen's dinosaur effects in such indelible movies as One Million Years B.C. and The Valley of Gwangi. There's as much detail here as any Harryhausen fan could possibly want, including storyboard sketches, pictures and models, and, most important, a blow-by-blow description of Harryhausen's unique brand of stop-motion animation. As an added bonus, Webber even describes Harryhausen's prehistoric projects dating from before the time he became Hollywood's premier monster maker. Compare prices
