British cinema has been around from the very birth of motion
pictures, from black-and-white to color, from talkies to sound, and
now 3D, it has been making a major contribution to world cinema.
Many of its actors and directors have stayed at home but others
ventured abroad, like Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock. Today
it is still going strong, the only real competition to Hollywood,
turning out films which appeal not only to Brits, just think of
Bridget Jones, while busily adding to franchises like James Bond
and Harry Potter. So this Historical Dictionary of British Cinema
has a lot of ground to cover. This it does with over 300 dictionary
entries informing us about significant actors, producers and
directors, outstanding films and serials, organizations and
studios, different films genres from comedy to horror, and
memorable films, among other things. Two appendixes provide lists
of award-winners. Meanwhile, the chronology covers over a century
of history. These parts provide the details, countless details,
while the introduction offers the big story. And the extensive
bibliography points toward other sources of information.
