DESCRIPTION:
Hugely impressive in its scope, with introductory chapters on social history, the film industry and theories of realism, this indispensable history of these vital years contains unusually fresh discussions of films justly regards as important, alongside those unjustly ignored. The extensive filmography which accompanies Sex, Class and Realism will also prove to be an invaluable reference source in the teaching of British cinema history.
Mantovani Idiom said Not only a well written treatise on this genre but a superb reference.. For several decades now I have been a huge fan of the British "Kitchen Sink" film genre of the late fifties and early sixties. This is an indispensable reference work as well as poignant analysis.
"Covers the 1956-63 years when film dealt genuinely with sexual themes, working class problems and juvenile delinquency" --American Cinematographer
