Beschreibung:
Charles Drazin's other books include In Search of The Third Man and Korda: Britain's Only Movie Mogul. He is currently writing The Faber History of the French Cinema and lectures on film at Queen Mary, University of London
Charles Drazin's acclaimed book, now available in paperback with a new Preface, is the fresh and brilliant chronicle for general readers and scholars alike of the British cinema's seminal 1940s, when many bold and enduring classics of world cinema were made, including "Brief Encounter, The Red Shoes" and "The Third Man." Drazin traces British cinema's fortunes through the characters and aspirations of some of its leading personalities, including Carol Reed, David Lean, Michael Balcon and Humphrey Jennings. He also introduces readers to some lesser known, equally significant figures, like Robert Hamer, the maverick director of "Kind Hearts and Coronets," and Filippo Del Giudice, flamboyant Italian genius.
