Editorial Reviews
Review
"... a welcome light on a period that has been neglected far too long... a worthy addition to the literature on British film for readers at all levels."
-Choice, October 2001
Book Description
In the fifties, British cinema won large audiences with popular war films and comedies, creating stars such as Dirk Bogarde and Kay Kendall, and introducing the stereotypes of the war hero. Through a series of case studies on films as diverse as It Always Rains on Sunday, Genevieve and The Wrong Arm of the Law , Geraghty explores some of the key debates on British cinema and film theory.
