The Contemporary Cinema

Více o knize

In a sustained, imaginative survey of the whole post-war scene, Penelope Houston shows how the cinema has adjusted itself to meet a new audience which approaches films more critically than before, but in doing so encourages new talent. At the same time, she makes clear the industrial problems (in particular, the flight to co-exist with TV) which are inseparable from the business of making, distributing, and promoting a very expensive product to a highly unreliable market.
