British Crime Cinema (British Popular Cinema)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Embracing both overlooked B movies and acknowledged classics, contributors trace the influence of the Hollywood gangster picture on its British counterpart, discussing the effect of film censors' hostility, and assessing the crime film's relationship to the British New Wave. Examining the subversion of feminine stereotypes in the underworld film, British Crime Cinema stresses the importance of the crime film in understanding masculinity in British cinema, and the shifting gender relations of postwar Britain.
