mystery and detective content lists more than 1,500 titles in one of
entertainment’s most popular and enduring genres. While most of the films
examined are from North America, mystery films from around the world are
included.
The
late Ken Wlaschin was former director of creative affairs at the American Film
Institute, headed the Institute’s National Film Theater and founded its Los
Angeles film festival. He previously directed the British Film Institute’s
National Film Theater and London film festival for 14 years. Wlaschin, the
author of three other McFarland books, lived in Palm Springs, California.
