Books by Charles Barr
Ealing Studios
by Charles Barr
This, to me, is one of the three best books ever written about British cinema. As far as I’m concerned, writing about studios will never be the same again, and anyone who hasn’t read this book should not be writing about studios. Barr understands the way a studio functioned, and is appreciative of what it achieved but not at all sentimental about it.
