This was the first book ever to be devoted exclusively to Tashlin, appearing the year after his death when the Edinburgh Film Festival mounted a retrospective program. Like most of the Edinburgh monographs from this period (they also did books on Roger Corman, Raoul Walsh and Jacques Tourneur), it remains a seminal source on Tashlin, although in terms of informational content it has been far surpassed by the
Locarno Film Festival book published in 1994. Includes two interviews with Tashlin; essays by Robert Mundy, Roger Tailleur, Louis Seguin, Ian Cameron and Paul Willemen; "A Concise Lexicon of Lewisian Terms"; chronology and filmography.
