Halliwell's Film Guide : ウィキペディア英語版
Leslie Halliwell

Robert James Leslie Halliwell〔Halliwell's birth certificate: Apr/May/Jun 1929, Bolton, Vol 8c, Page 480〕 (23 February 1929 – 21 January 1989) was a British film critic and encyclopaedist (and television impresario) who in 1965 compiled ''The Filmgoer's Companion'', the first one-volume encyclopaedia devoted to all aspects of the cinema.〔See ''Halliwell's Horizon: Leslie Halliwell and his Film Guides'', ISBN 978-1-4477-4205-0 (Lulu.com/eBook on Amazon), pages 128–30.〕 He followed it a dozen years later with ''Halliwell's Film Guide'', another monumental work of effort and devotion. In an age long before the internet, Halliwell's books were regarded as the number one source for movie information and his name became synonymous with film knowledge and research. ''Times'' journalist Anthony Quinton wrote in 1977
Immersed in the enjoyment of these fine books, one should look up for a moment to admire the quite astonishing combination of industry and authority in one man which has brought them into existence.〔See the following book reviews: Anthony Quinton in ''The Times Literary Supplement'', 25 November 1977; Charles Champlin in ''The Los Angeles Times'', 4 May 1979; Benny Green in ''The Spectator'', 11/1977; John Russell Taylor in ''The Times Educational Supplement'', 2 June 1978; David Bartholomew in ''Library Journal Book Review'', 1979; ''Variety'', 23 December 1987.〕

In his capacity as chief buyer for the ITV network, Halliwell was further responsible for bringing to British television screens some of the most popular films and shows of the 1970s and '80s, including ''The Six Million Dollar Man'', ''Charlie's Angels'', ''The Incredible Hulk'', ''The A-Team'', ''The Winds of War'', ''Jaws'', ''Star Wars'' and the James Bond movies.〔See ''The Sunday Times Magazine'', 1 October 1978 and ''Broadcast'' magazine, 8 March 1976; ''Sunday Times'', 13 February 1983; ''Broadcast'', 21 February 1983; ''Broadcast'', 2 February 1981 and''The Observer'', 13 March 1988; ''Daily Express'', 23 October 1982; ''The Observer'', 22 March 1987 and ''The Listener'', 5 February 1987.〕
Halliwell's promotion of the cinema through his books and seasons of 'golden oldies' on Channel 4 won him awards from the London Film Critics' Circle, the British Film Institute and a posthumous BAFTA.〔''The Guardian'', 6 December 1988 and 30 May 1997.〕〔''Broadcast'' magazine, 28 June 1985.〕〔''Bolton Evening News'', 26 March 1990.〕
==Early life==
Born in Bolton, Lancashire in 1929, Halliwell was captivated by films from an early age. He grew up during the Golden Age of Hollywood, the period when the big studios churned out movies and wide-eyed cinemagoers packed the dream palaces. Halliwell and his mother Lily went almost nightly to the cinema, which offered them an escape from the grim reality of life in a soot-covered mill town.〔See Halliwell's memoir, ''Seats in all Parts''.〕
In 1939, Halliwell won a scholarship to Bolton School and after national service he studied English Literature at St Catharine's College, Cambridge. As a young man he was a cheerful, often ebullient individual who ran film societies, performed in amateur theatre productions and inspired those around him with his seemingly boundless enthusiasm for the cinema.〔See the biography ''Halliwell's Horizon''—ISBN 978-1-4477-4205-0 (Lulu.com/eBook on Amazon)—for interviews with school and university friends, chapters 2 and 3.〕
