Pauline Kaelová charakterizovala uvedení Spielbergova filmu „Sugarlandský expres“ jako „jeden z nejfenomenálnějších debutů v historii filmu“, Spielbergovi tenkrát bylo dvacet šest let. Tato kniha zkoumá „fenomén Spielberg“ nejenom ve vztahu k filmu samotnému (studuje jeho význam, limit příběhu, herecké obsazení, režijní styl, techniku atd.), ale i ve vztahu k obrovské divácké odezvě (rozebírá příčiny popularity určitých témat a její subjektivní podstatu). Jako komerčně nejúspěšnější režisér je Spielberg především tvůrcem zábavy a jeho filmy divákům nabízejí únik do jiného světa v nejlepších tradicích Hollywoodu. Jeho vzácný talent mu dovoluje vytvářet dílo s obrovským ohlasem diváků, který ovšem až do nedávna nenalézal pochopení u Americké filmové akademie. V této knize Philip Taylor pátrá také po Spielbergových filmových inspiracích a vzorech, mezi kterými nechybí např. Francois Truffaut nebo David Lean. Vrací se k jeho začátkům v televizním studiu, popisuje jeho filmovou dráhu a nezapomíná ani na filmy, které Spielberg produkoval. Všímá si také technického a komerčního pozadí filmové tvorby. Text doprovází četné fotografie z natáčení i záběry z filmů. Závěr tvoří detailní filmografie celé Spielbergovy tvorby. Philip M. I. Taylor je zástupcem ředitele v Institutu komunikačních studií na univerzitě v Leedsu. Je autorem a editorem několika knih z oblasti filmové historie.... celý text
