Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British
cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration.
This major study ranges over Reed's entire career, combining
observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis
of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known
works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the
films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural
contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed's art. The
critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the
analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify
Reed's relations with his creative team, financial backers and
others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd
Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The
Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!. -- .
