{"product_id":"british-cinema-in-the-1950s-ian-mackillop-9780719064890","title":"British Cinema in the 1950s: A Celebration","description":"Offers a startling re-evaluation of what has until now been seen as the most critically lacklustre period of the British film history. Covers a variety of genres, such as B-movies, war films, women's pictures and theatrical adaptations; as well as social issues which affect film-making, such as censorship. Includes fresh assessment of maverick directors; Pat Jackson, Robert Hamer and Joseph Losey, and even of a maverick critic Raymond Durgnat. Features personal insights from those inidividually implicated in 1950s cinema; Corin Redgrave on Michael Redgrave, Isabel Quigly on film reviewing, and Bryony Dixon of the BFI on archiving and preservation. Presents a provocative challenge to conventional wisdom about 1950s film and rediscovers the Festival of Britain decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian MacKillop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719064899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719064890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 6.34w x 0.80d","brand":"Ian MacKillop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925739077887,"sku":"9780719064890","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e19fff54-50ec-43ee-8033-4fd9b9e1c058.jpg?v=1681079064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/british-cinema-in-the-1950s-ian-mackillop-9780719064890","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
