El estudio de la cinematografía de nuestro país a la luz de sus actores y actrices, es una original manera de contribuir a la escasa bibliografía sobre el cine español. No olvidemos que el intérprete encierra un significado singular y preponderante entre los elementos que componen la obra cinematografica y que para muchos, es mas sugerente aquella pelicula de Jose Isbert que su propio titulo o director. Cada entrada de Las estrellas de nuestro cine presenta una completa biografia valorativa, los trabajos fundamentales en teatro y television, la totalidad de las peliculas interpretadas, los premios recibidos, la bibliografia correspondiente, y una fotografia representativa de las grandes estrellas y actores secundarios de nuestro cine.
