Lots of good stuff in here: mini biographies of many directors, actors, producers and others involved in British cinema. Range in length from a few lines to a thousand or so words. The entry for Michael Powell - the director I know best - was spot-on, ditto Hitchcock. So on that basis I 'd say it's factually very accurate. Some of the speculative/gossipy stuff is also good fun.
