Description: The names that stand out in the annals of British film history are set into historical perspective in this comprehensive study. It questions some of the myths surrounding British cinema and probes the strengths of a national output conditioned in its practice by a love-hate relationship with Hollywood and customarily judged in terms of its predominantly realist approach.
