{"product_id":"jack-clayton-neil-sinyard-9780719055058","title":"Jack Clayton","description":"In Fran輟is Truffaut's opinion The Innocents was 'the best English film after Hitchcock goes to America'. Tennessee Williams said of The Great Gatsby: 'a film whose artistry even surpassed the original novel'. The maker of both films was Jack Clayton, one of the finest English directors of the post-war era and perhaps best remembered for the trail-blazing Room at the Top which brought a new sexual frankness and social realism to the British screen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the first full-length critical study of Clayton's work. The author has been able to consult and quote from the director's own private papers which illuminate Clayton's creative practices and artistic intentions. In addition to fresh analyses of the individual films, the book contains new material on Clayton's many unrealized projects and valuably includes his previously unpublished short story 'The Enchantment' - as poignant and revealing as the films themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a personal and fascinating account of the career and achievement of an important, much-loved director that should appeal to students and film enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Sinyard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719055059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719055058\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 12\/28\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.86h x 5.08w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 888","brand":"Neil Sinyard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120110760191,"sku":"9780719055058","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8386be9c-3c04-40dd-8f13-9de3cdd8e27c.jpg?v=1687412609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jack-clayton-neil-sinyard-9780719055058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
