Ealing Revisited

Autor Mark Duguid, Lee Freeman, Keith Johnston
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 dec 2012
Ealing Revisitedprovides a major reappraisal of one of British cinema's best-loved institutions, Ealing Studios.
 
During its heyday, Ealing produced a string of classic comedies, includingKind Hearts and Coronets(1949),The Lavender Hill Mob(1951) andThe Ladykillers(1955), but there is much more to Ealing than these films, as this volume of new writing on the studio shows.

Addressing both known and less familiar aspects of Ealing's story, its films, actors and technicians, the contributors uncover what has gone unexplored, or unspoken, in previous histories of the studio, and consider the impact that Ealing has had on British cultural life from the 1930s to the present.
