Product Description

Review
The Bookseller: "offering enthusiasts 'fashionable and lively guides' to classic films." The Veteran, Summer 2005: 'The notes at the end of the volume show how painstakingly well-researched the text has been. 'There are a number of impressive aspects to Steve Chibnall's meticulous examination of Brighton Rock. There is a remarkable level of scholarship evident in the depth of historical investigation undertaken. This provides the basis for a fascinating description of the processes that went into the development of the film.' 'Both books [My Beautiful Laundrette & Brighton Rock] are precise, lucid, clearly organised and offer a wealth of contextual knowledge, as well as providing compelling accounts of what these two very different British films can offer to a contemporary audience. Judging by the quality of these volumes, one can only look forward to the continuing extension and development of this series.' - Robert Shail, Journal of British Cinema and Television

Product Description
John Boulting's Brighton Rock is a milestone film; it made Richard Attenborough a star; it is the first realistic depiction of the British criminal underworld; and the first of Graham Greene's adaptations of his own work. Godfather of classic crime films like Get Carter and The Long Good Friday, its American cousins include Little Caesar and Mean Streets. To mark the centenary of Greene's birth, Steve Chibnall presents a detailed re-view of this authentic slice of English seaside noir. It includes scene-by-scene analysis, the writing, production and reception of the film, and the real activities of the racecourse gangs and protection racketeers that inspired the drama. Steve Chibnall also uncovers the mystery of missing scenes that, if restored, would give Brighton Rock a significantly different emphasis, and he reveals new information about the films' controversial ending.
