During the Second World War, the popularity and importance of the
cinema in Britain was at its peak. In this groundbreaking book,
Richard Farmer provides a social and cultural history of cinemas
and cinemagoing in Britain between 1939 and 1945, and explores the
impact that the war had on the places in which British people
watched films. Although promising the possibility of escape from
the hardships and terrors of wartime life, the cinema was so
intimately woven into the fabric of British society that it could
not itself escape the war. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary
sources, and on the memories of wartime cinemagoers, Cinemagoing in
wartime Britain, 1939-45 is the first book to offer an in-depth
exploration of the impact that phenomena such as the black out, the
blitz, food rationing, evacuation and conscription had on both the
exhibition industry and the experiences of the picturegoers
themselves. -- .
