Books, Manuscripts
A history of science fiction film. It traces the genre from its earliest days to the two pre-war blockbusters, "Metropolis" and "Things to Come", whose commercial failure put an end to big-budget science fiction film-making for 30 years, and on to the post-"Star-Wars" boom from the late 1970s.
