Description
The British working class in postwar film by Philip Gillett explores how working-class people were portrayed in British feature films from 1945 to 1954. Using sociological analysis and statistical data, the book examines the popularity of these films with audiences. Gillett's work offers an interdisciplinary approach to film studies, introducing students of media and cultural studies to skills from other disciplines, while encouraging sociologists and historians to consider the value of film evidence in their own fields. This book provides a fresh perspective on the relationship between cinema and society, shedding new light on often-overlooked films. By combining insights from sociology, history, and film studies, Gillett's book broadens our understanding of postwar British culture and its representation in film.
