Ideal for media and film students, historians, and sociologists interested in British culture, film history, and social class representation. Academics and researchers will find valuable interdisciplinary insights and comprehensive references.
An incidental pleasure of watching a film is what it tells us about the society in which it is made. Using a sociological model this title looks at how working-class people were portrayed in British feature films in the decade after the Second World War.

Description
Discussing well-known films and forgotten ones which deserve reassessment, this text uses a sociological model to examine how working class people are portrayed in British feature films from the decade after World War II.
It introduces media and film students to the skills of other disciplines, while encouraging historians and sociologists to consider the value of film evidence for their own disciplines.
The book is extensively referenced, using original statistical data to assess the popularity of the films with their contemporary audiences.
