Product Description
Product Description
An examination of lesbian and gays in British cinema, this book explores a range of lesbian and gay screen images from such diverse films as "Soldiers of the King", "Pygmalion", "Dangerous Moonlight", "Blithe Spirit", "Brief Encounter", and "The Servant", revealing a vital, varied and sensuous cinema. Arranged chronologically, and examining performers, directors and over 150 famous, half-remembered and forgotten films, the book forms a celebration of the contribution of gays and lesbians to British cinema culture. It includes an appendix of gay men's reactions to "Victim", the landmark Dirk Bogart film.

Book Description:
BRIEF ENCOUNTERS Gays and Lesbians in British Cinema 1930-71 Stephen Bourne Because of prejudices and misconceptions, the vast pink and lavender arena of British cinema has mostly escaped the attentions of the orthodox critic and historian. In Brief Encounters Stephen Bourne reveals a cinema that is various, vital and sensuous and definitely queer! Free of reductive jargon and theory, this fluent chronology of over 150 films - including Brief Encounter, The Red Shoes, Victim and The Killing of Sister George - as well as stars and directors like James Whale, Anthony Asquith, Mary Morris and Anton Walbrook, is illuminating. STEPHEN BOURNE is an award winning writer and researcher currently working on Black in the British Frame, a comprehensive history of the Black presence in British film and television from 1896-1996 (To be published by Cassell in 1997).
