I hope you'll enjoy this final volume of the Sci-Fi Film Fiesta eBook series along with the other volumes. My original intention in writing about classic science fiction films of the 1950s was to present it in the form of a book but I instead chose to do so via this blog. Having completed featuring sci-fi films of the 1950s and moving on to films of the 1960s through to the 1980s, I decided to go back to my original idea. With the amount of information such a book would encompass, I then decided to present it in a freely available eBook format consisting of 11 manageable volumes devoted to various general themes for easy reference.
