Anthony Perkins is best known for playing Norman Bates in Psycho. Its notoriety and success ensured he remained one of filmdom's most recognisable faces for the rest of his life... and beyond. Yet there were those (Perkins included) who felt he never truly shook the screen persona of the knife-wielding, mother-obsessed, cross-dressing psychopath, and he was often labelled on the strength of his most notorious role - thus giving a distorted view of a career which spanned four decades and almost sixty movies. In More Than A Psycho: The Complete Films Of Anthony Perkins, Dawn and Jonathon Dabell take a closer look at the actor's entire body of work. Their book provides cast and crew details, an extensive image gallery, background information and considered critical analysis for every title. Perkins was, they argue, more than just a prominent screen villain - his talent and versatility went much further, his wider oeuvre encompassing everything from romance to comedy, war to western, musical to sci-fi. With a foreword by highly regarded film and pop culture historian Paul Talbot, this is the essential guide to the career of Anthony Perkins.

At first glance the two actors seem worlds apart: pere Osgood the last word in worldly sophistication and fils Anthony the ultimate in incorrigible boyishness. Yet beneath the surface run common currents--a penchant for choosing risky projects, recurring problems with typecasting, a gift for fleshing out underwritten roles. Even the famous twitch runs in the family. Illustrated with more than 100 photos, this comprehensive, chronological survey of the careers of Osgood and Anthony Perkins includes not only all of their film and Broadway performances but also virtually all road, summer stock, radio and television work. Even their formative years in college productions are covered, as are Anthony's brief stints as pop singer, director, screenwriter and songwriter. Extensive credits are cited for each work. Quotes and reminiscences are interwoven into the text, written in an essay format.

Marion is lost on a dark and lonely road; she's tired and hungry and afraid. She thinks she's dreaming when she sees a motel sign shining in the darkness: Bates Motel. But for Marion the nightmare is just beginning ... To most people Psycho needs no introduction, but although Alfred Hitchcock's film was largely faithful to the book, in the novel itself you will find a story more nuanced and - if possible - even darker.

She waits for him in the dark, her mind and body perfect, passive, until one day, when he goes to the cellar, and she is gone . . . In A Demon in My View, Ruth Rendell creates a character as frightening as he is fascinating. Mild-mannered Arthur Johnson has never known how to talk to women. And his loneliness has perverted his desire for love and respect into a carefully controlled penchant for violence. One floor below him, a scholar finishing his thesis on psychopathic personalities is about to stumble—quite literally—upon one of Arthur's many secrets. Haunting and intelligent, A Demon in My View shows the startling results of this chilling alchemy of two very disparate minds—one pathological and the other obsessed with pathology.

Sonorous voice, shaven head, enigmatic good looks - Yul Brynner was among the most distinctive, charismatic performers of his era. He was a circus acrobat, nude model, cabaret performer and television director before opting to pursue a career in acting. His rise to stardom in the '50s was nothing short of meteoric: a Tony Award for his stage role in The King and I, and an Oscar for its screen equivalent, sealed his reputation as one of the most hotly sought stars in the business. The Ten Commandments, Anastasia, The Brothers Karamazov, The Magnificent Seven, Taras Bulba and Westworld are just some of the highlights of a career which spanned three decades and forty films. Brynner acted alongside the biggest names in the business - Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando, Kirk Douglas, Noël Coward, Steve McQueen, Christopher Plummer, Eli Wallach and more. Leading ladies included some of the greats - Deborah Kerr, Ingrid Bergman, Maria Schell, Joanne Woodward, Gina Lollobrigida, Kay Kendall, Romy Schneider and Katharine Hepburn among them.In Ultimate Warrior: The Complete Films of Yul Brynner, Dawn and Jonathon Dabell examine every Brynner film, offering contextual background, cast and crew information and detailed analysis and evaluation for each. Every chapter is accompanied by an extensive image gallery.Turbo Sloth Publications is proud to present the first book to offer a comprehensive examination of Brynner's entire filmography, from the crime potboiler Port of New York (1949) to the 'poliziottesco' Death Rage (1976).
