Description

Ealing Studios is one of Britain's most beloved institutions of cinema. Located in West London, it has produced some of the country's most popular and acclaimed films. This study explores how Ealing constructed an image of Britain at a particular moment in history. The films of Ealing Studios reflect common characteristics that can be identified as "national", conjuring images of Britain and Britishness for domestic and international audiences. By examining the institution from its own perspective, this volume sheds light on how Ealing represented Britain during a time of social upheaval following World War II. Tracing the values of Ealing in the 1940s and early 1950s, this book offers a unique insight into the construction of British identity through film.
