Launder and Gilliat: A Study of Two Screenwriters-Directors
Bruce Babington examines the partnership of Launder and Gilliat, two key figures in British film history. Their work spanned over four decades, including notable films from the 'golden age' of wartime and post-war cinema.
This book provides a contextualised study of Launder and Gilliat's careers, focusing on their engagement with the cultural and ideological climate of Britain during this period. It offers a close reading of several critically neglected films, shedding new light on their creative approaches to filmmaking.
