The 'Gainsborough melodramas' were a mainstay of 1940s British
cinema, and helped make the careers of such stars as Margaret
Lockwood, James Mason and Stewart Granger. But what was unique
about these films? And who were the directors behind them? This
book presents four key filmmakers, each with his own talents and
specialities. It traces their professional lives through the highs
of the 1940s, when the popularity of Gainsborough films was at its
peak, to the tougher decades that followed the genre's decline.
Featuring expert analysis of such films as The Man in Grey (1943),
Madonna of the Seven Moons (1945) and The Upturned Glass (1947),
alongside valuable historical context, the book constitutes the
first extended examination of this group of directors. It combines
critical acumen with readability, making it a valuable resource for
students, lecturers and general readers alike. -- .
