10 Acknowledgments The editors of this volume wish especially to thank the following for their invaluable assistance and contributions in the preparation of this encyclopedia: first and foremost, to editors Hilary Poole and James Chambers of Facts On File, whose tireless efforts, patience, and consistent good humor helped us over many rough spots. To Jamie Warren, formerly of Facts On File, who first approved and supported the project four years ago. To Paul Scaramazza, long-time friend and boon companion, whose painstaking attention to the manuscript enabled us to correct errors too numerous to mention. To Joe Yranski, movie devotee and enthusiast, who unselfishly donated many stills from his extensive private collection. And to the members of the Literature/Film Association, founded in 1988 by the editors of Literature/Film Quarterly. This organization s annual national conferences, activities, and publications have in large measure both inspired this book and brought it to completion. Thanks are also due to Thomas L. Erskine of Salisbury State University, who was present at the inception of this project; to Anne Welsh, for her understanding and continued support; and the contributing editors of Literature/Film Quarterly, who participated in the writing of many entries. Particular thanks are in order to the four senior research assistants of this book: Father Gene D. Phillips, S.J., of Loyola University of Chicago, enjoys a continued productive career writing about films and filmmakers and literary adaptations. Heather Addison, Bruce Hutchinson, and Rodney Hill are currently doctoral candidates in the Theater and Film Department at the University of Kansas, Lawrence; their enthusiasm, research skills and computer savvy were enormously helpful. For many years we have enjoyed the close friendship and continuing support of many friends and colleagues at the University of Kansas, including Katherine Giele, former director of Student Union Activities (who also generously assisted in the organization of the KU Film Society) and Chuck Sack, friend and collaborator on many film projects; Professors Harold Orel, Marilyn Stokstad, Charles M. Berg, Jo Anderson, Edward Small, the late Edward L. Ruhe, and, finally, John Gronbeck-Tedesco, chairman of the Department of Theater and Film and editor of Journal of Dramatic Theory and Criticism. Lastly, a grateful tip of the hat is in order to Richard Dyer Mac- Cann, professor emeritus of the University of Iowa, formerly of the University of Kansas, whose pioneering efforts on behalf of academic film studies have been and continue to be an inspiration to us and to many other students and teachers of cinema studies.
