British Popular Films

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Challenging the conventional assumption that British films of the '30s were aimed primarily at the middle-class, Schafer reveals the vital role of cinema for the working class and exposes an emphasis on the virtues of cooperation, patriotism and self sacrifice that reinforced the status quo during significant economic and social disruption. An innovative examination of an often forgotten period in film history, British Popular Films is a valuable contribution to the field.
