Description:
The new, revised and expanded paperback edition of this widely-used textbook for film history brings up to date its authors’ demonstration of how a close study of films in their historical and cultural settings can enrich our understanding of both cinema and historical events. It introduces three new chapters, one focusing on _The Blue Lamp_ and changes in cinema’s depiction of the police from that key 1949 film up to the 1960s, another on the ‘British New Wave’ centring on _The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner_, and a third which, starting from _Scandal_ and its recreation of the 1960s Profumo scandal, goes on to examine the ‘retro’ fashion for covering crimes of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s in films of the 1980s like _Let Him Have It, Dance with a Stranger_ and _Chicago Joe and the Showgirl_. This edition has a new, accessible format and provides a valuable Resource Section for teachers, students and scholars.
