Originally published in 1964, this book tells the history of the
British cinematograph industry for the first time. It describes
moments of splendid triumph and others of shattering failure. The
mood switches from reckless optimism to demoralising pessimism,
from years in which British films won the highest international
awards to those when they were dismissed with scorn. It recalls a
score of productions still ranked among the world's best, and the
stars whose reputation was established in them. Attention is
focused on the directors, those who kept to the fore during two and
three decades and those with only one major success to their name.
Behind them the men are identified who strove, often to their
considerable financial loss, to gain a worthy place for British
films in the world's markets.
