Do you remember the first movie you ever owned? It was probably a product of Castle Films. Before home video, Castle Films made every living room a screening room.

For four decades the 16mm and 8mm film products of Castle Films were sold in every department store and hobby shop. Castle had big-screen movies for everybody: comedies with Abbott & Costello, The Marx Brothers, and W. C. Fields...monster movies with Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Wolfman...cartoons with Woody Woodpecker, Chilly Willy, and Mighty Mouse...westerns with Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and James Stewart...travelogues of the world's picturesque places...newsreels of major headline stories...musicals with top singers and bandleaders.

Collectors have always wanted a reference book detailing the total output of Castle Films. Here it is. "Castle Films: A Hobbyist's Guide" is a complete filmography of every title printed between 1937 and 1977. For handy reference, there are separate indexes by title, subject, and serial number, a listing of Castle's color film releases, and a special section "decoding" Castle's various pseudonym titles and disclosing the "true identities" of many films.

"Castle Films: A Hobbyist's Guide" is a fascinating, nostalgic look at one of the pioneers of home entertainment.

Good Quality overall. Pants need work.
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black
I'm 6'0. 305 lbs and have a beer belly. The 4xl jacket fit like a glove. The vest on the other hand is hard to button and I can't use it. The pants, as expected are a few inches too long and a bit baggy from the knee to the butt and I will have to have them altered. I will say the pants cannot be pulled up too far as the crotch area is very shallow. I wish there were just a bit more room there to pull the pants over my belly. The overall quality is 3.8 out of 5.

Expectations Exceeded by Far
Size: Large, Color: Black-2, Size: Large, Color: Black-2
Never thought I could get a suit that fit like it was tailored right out of the box. The measurements provided were spot on. Not only was I impressed with the fit, but the quality as well. I would buy this suit several times over. I'm absolutely pleased with my purchase.
