Great Expectations: British Postwar Cinema (1945-1960)

Take home a copy of the book made to accompany the Locarno78 retrospective of British postwar cinema (1945-60). Edited by curator Ehsan Khoshbakht, this volume features contributions from a slate of international writers and some of the leading experts on British cinema.

From established auteurs like David Lean, Basil Dearden, and Powell & Pressburger to genre craftsmen who have yet to receive their proper due, this brand-new study of the period celebrates the contributions of British cinematic artists at work as their country embarked on the road to reconstruction.
