In Francois Truffaut's opinion The Innocents was 'the best English
film after Hitchcock goes to America'. Tennessee Williams said of
The Great Gatsby: 'a film whose artistry even surpassed the
original novel'. The maker of both films was Jack Clayton, one of
the finest English directors of the post-war era and perhaps best
remembered for the trail-blazing Room at the Top which brought a
new sexual frankness and social realism to the British screen. This
is the first full-length critical study of Clayton's work. The
author has been able to consult and quote from the director's own
private papers which illuminate Clayton's creative practices and
artistic intentions. In addition to fresh analyses of the
individual films, the book contains new material on Clayton's many
unrealised projects and valuably includes his previously
unpublished short story 'The Enchantment' - as poignant and
revealing as the films themselves. This is a personal and
fascinating account of the career and achievement of an important,
much-loved director that should appeal to students and film
enthusiasts. -- .
