Catling had recently used it to make Under the Frozen Falls, a short children’s film that had benefited from the IF’s aim to “rationalize that which is largely irrational in film making.”1 He described how his film had been very carefully pre-planned in terms of script, storyboards, and technical plans. Several scenes were pre-staged and filmed without the main cast who were later incorporated into scenes by means of rear projection. Special effects were of paramount importance in reducing the number of sets that needed to be built.

  • British Movies from Austerity to Affluence, Which Deals Extensively with British films of the 1950S, Was Written in the Mid-1960S and Was Published in 1970
    Raymond Durgnat and A Mirror for England robert murphy If clearly marked personal style is one’s criterion of interest, then few British films reward the concern given to such directors as, say, Dreyer, Buñuel, Franju and Renoir. But other criteria of interest exist, whereby many of the subtlest meanings behind a personal style may be related to the collective vision of a particular tradition, period, background or ‘school’. It’s logical and usual to consider even impersonal and anonymous artworks as an expression of a general consensus (A Mirror for England, p. 4).1 R ’ A Mirror for England: British Movies from Austerity to Affluence, which deals extensively with British films of the 1950s, was written in the mid-1960s and was published in 1970. Given the shifts in attitudes over the past thirty years – in society generally as well as in the little world of film studies – one might expect the judgments expressed there, the choices of what is important, to have become dated and irrelevant. If one reads Roy Armes’s A Critical History of British Cinema, which was published in 1978, one is propelled into a time warp where academics with long hair wore tank tops and flared jeans, and had posters of La Hora de los Hornos on their walls. Armes draws inspiration from a deadly cocktail of Althusserian Marxism and the languid snobbery of C. A. Lejeune to take to task an industry which ‘has never created an adequate working Raymond Durgnat died in June 2002 at the age of 69.
