Description

Originally published in 1964, this comprehensive history traces the British cinematograph industry from its origins through seven decades of evolution. The book captures the full spectrum of British cinema's journey, documenting moments of international triumph when British films earned the world's highest awards alongside periods of critical dismissal and commercial struggle. It examines the directors who maintained prominence across multiple decades, profiles the stars whose careers were defined by landmark productions, and recalls scores of films that remain ranked among cinema's finest achievements. The narrative shifts fluidly between eras of reckless optimism and demoralising pessimism, revealing how the industry navigated artistic ambition, commercial pressures, and changing audience tastes. A foundational reference work for anyone studying British film history, cinema studies, or the evolution of the entertainment industry, this Routledge Library edition restores an essential historical record to contemporary readers.
