Description: "As a trained art historian and film scholar, Hockenhull provides revealing comparative close visual analyses of the films of Powell and Pressburger, where she also examines the films' critical reception when first released to support her argument about a general cultural British Neo-Romantic sensibility during the period. This thought provoking book is of particular interest to British cultural and art historians.-Review by Dr. Ulrike Sieglohr." --P. [4] of cover.
