Charting the cross-cultural reception of many British films, Sarah Street draws on a wide range of sources including studio records, film posters, press books and statistics. While the power of Hollywood made it difficult for films that crossed the Atlantic, Street’s research demonstrates that some strategies were more successful than others. She considers which British films made an impact and analyzes conditions that facilitated a positive reception from critics, censors, exhibitors and audiences. Case studies include \u003ci\u003eNell Gwyn\u003c\/i\u003e (1926), \u003ci\u003eThe Private Life of Henry VIII\u003c\/i\u003e (1933), \u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Goes West\u003c\/i\u003e (1935), \u003ci\u003eHenry V\u003c\/i\u003e (1946), \u003ci\u003eBlack Narcissus\u003c\/i\u003e (1947), \u003ci\u003eThe Red Shoes\u003c\/i\u003e (1948), Ealing comedies, \u003ci\u003eThe Horror of Dracula\u003c\/i\u003e (1958), \u003ci\u003eTom Jones\u003c\/i\u003e (1963), \u003ci\u003eA Hard Day’s Night\u003c\/i\u003e (1964), \u003ci\u003eGoldfinger\u003c\/i\u003e (1964), \u003ci\u003eThe Remains of the Day \u003c\/i\u003e(1993), \u003ci\u003eFour Weddings and a Funeral\u003c\/i\u003e (1994) and \u003ci\u003eTrainspotting\u003c\/i\u003e (1996). Against a background of the economic history of the British and Hollywood film industries, \u003ci\u003eTransatlantic Crossings\u003c\/i\u003e considers the many fascinating questions surrounding the history of British films in the USA, their relevance to wider issues of Anglo-American relations and to notions of \"Britishness\" on screen.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223337914712,"sku":"9781474290678","price":122.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781474290678.jpg?v=1743738336","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/transatlantic-crossings","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
