Fontfilter: I'm designing a new business card for myself and I want to appropriate the design of the classic Penguin crime novel. Like this one. Can anyone identify the fonts used in the original?

I went to see a foreign film yesterday and was dismayed that the subtitles were in white. Isn't it a proven fact that subtitles show up better when in yellow? Also, why are subtitles in a sans serif font? I read something sometime ago that printed text should be in a serif font because it's easier on the eyes. Something about the serif thingies allowing your eyes to flow from letter to letter easier than a sans serif font.
