Transatlantic Crossings is a major study of the distribution and
exhibition of British films in the USA. Charting the cross-cultural
reception of many British films, Sarah Street draws on a wide range
of sources including studio records, film posters, press books and
statistics. While the power of Hollywood made it difficult for
films that crossed the Atlantic, Street's research demonstrates
that some strategies were more successful than others. She
considers which British films made an impact and analyzes
conditions that facilitated a positive reception from critics,
censors, exhibitors and audiences. Case studies include Nell Gwyn
(1926), The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933), The Ghost Goes West
(1935), Henry V (1946), Black Narcissus (1947), The Red Shoes
(1948), Ealing comedies, The Horror of Dracula (1958), Tom Jones
(1963), A Hard Day's Night (1964), Goldfinger (1964), The Remains
of the Day (1993), Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) and
Trainspotting (1996). Against a background of the economic history
of the British and Hollywood film industries, Transatlantic
Crossings considers the many fascinating questions surrounding the
history of British films in the USA, their relevance to wider
issues of Anglo-American relations and to notions of "Britishness"
on screen.
