In this definitive and long-awaited history of 1950s British
cinema, Sue Harper and Vincent Porter draw extensively on
previously unknown archive material to chart the growing rejection
of post-war deference by both film-makers and cinema audiences.
Competition from television and successive changes in government
policy all forced the production industry to become more
market-sensitive. The films produced by Rank and Ealing, many of
which harked back to wartime structures of feeling, were challenged
by those backed by Anglo-Amalgamated and Hammer. The latter knew
how to address the rebellious feelings and growing sexual
discontents of a new generation of consumers. Even the British
Board of Film Censors had to adopt a more liberal attitude. The
collapse of the studio system also meant that the screenwriters and
the art directors had to cede creative control to a new generation
of independent producers and film directors. Harper and Porter
explore the effects of these social, cultural, industrial, and
economic changes on 1950s British cinema.
