Description

Four from the Forties: Arliss, Crabtree, Knowles and Huntington provides a deep look into the golden age of British cinema. This book focuses on four specific directors from the 1940s who achieved commercial and critical success alongside rising stars. While their work has appeared in broader discussions of film history, these filmmakers have not previously received individual critical attention. Published by Manchester University Press, this study corrects that oversight by dedicating a specific chapter to each director: Leslie Arliss, Arthur Crabtree, Bernard Knowles, and Lawrence Huntington. The text examines all of their major films to identify their unique filmmaking gifts and traces their careers through the era. It is an essential resource for those interested in the production and direction of mid-century British film.
