  • Silent Dust” (1949) and the Malevolent Veteran
    What Cannot Be Said: “Silent Dust” (1949) and the Malevolent Veteran Andrew Spicer “Silent Dust”, released in February 1949, was one of a group of films that explored the problems of the returning Second World War veteran. Although the maladjusted veteran is a feature of all major wars, it assumes an added significance in this instance because the Second World War, in Britain and America at least, is conventionally understood “almost universally as honou- rable and noble, fought with right and justice exclusively on the Allied side”.1 Angus Calder has argued that the dominant narrative constructed about the Second World War in Britain was what he terms the “myth of the Blitz”, a heroic myth of courage, endurance and pulling together. This myth, through its perpetuation in an enormous array of cultural practices – notably a cycle of combat films in the 1950s such as “The Dam Busters” (1955) and “Reach for the Sky” (1956) – became the accepted view and was almost impossible to dislodge.2 It was a myth that was officially ratified in the British state’s comme- moration of the war and, like all dominant discourses, served to marginalise alternative constructions of the conflict, particularly those that represent it as a traumatic and possibly brutalising experience. By analysing “Silent Dust” in detail and in relation to its social and cultural context, I hope to recover this repressed narrative and restore it to its rightful place as an important discourse about the Second World War. 1. Synopsis and Production Personnel “Silent Dust” is set in a small village in rural England.

  • War Cinema– Or How British Films Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Affluent Society
    1 THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICER CLASS IN POST- WAR CINEMA– OR HOW BRITISH FILMS LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew Roberts College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences of Brunel University 22nd September2014 2 ABSTRACT My central argument is that mainstream British cinema of the 1951 – 1965 period marked the end of the paternalism, as exemplified by a professional ‘officer class’, as consumerism gradually came to be perceived as the norm as opposed to a post-war enemy. The starting point is 1951, the year of the Conservative victory in the General Election and a time which most films were still locally funded. The closing point is 1965, by which point the vast majority of British films were funded by the USA and often featured a youthful and proudly affluent hero. Thus, this fourteen year describes how British cinema moved away from the People as Hero guided by middle class professionals in the face of consumerism. Over the course of this work, I will analyse the creation of the archetypes of post-war films and detail how the impact of consumerism and increased Hollywood involvement in the UK film industry affected their personae. However, parallel with this apparently linear process were those films that questioned or attacked the wartime consensus model. As memories of the war receded, and the Rank/ABPC studio model collapsed, there was an increasing sense of deracination across a variety of popular British cinematic genres. From the beginning of our period there is a number films that infer that the “Myth of the Blitz”, as developed in a cinematic sense, was just that and our period ends with films that convey a sense of a fragmenting society.

  • Mild Revolution’: the Politics of Ealing Studios
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL ‘The Mild Revolution’: The Politics of Ealing Studios Being a Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in the University of Hull by Lee Paul Freeman (Ba) (Ma) October 2014 Introduction Filmmaking has taken place at Ealing from 1902 - originally under the ownership of the film pioneer Will G. Barker - until the present day. Film production at Ealing can be broken down into five separate operational phases: a) Films made at Will Barker’s studio at Ealing Green from 1902 through 1929; b) Films made at the refurbished Ealing studios (expanding out from Barker’s site), between 1930 and 1938, under the ownership of Associated Talking Pictures; c) Films made between 1938 and 1959 by a production company headed up by Michael Balcon (eventually titled ‘Ealing Studios Limited’) while at location (b); d) Films and television programmes made at location (b) from 1955 on, by the BBC and other production companies; e) Films produced by a modern company called Ealing Studios, many produced at a modernised location (b) since 2002.1 This thesis, like most critical examinations of Ealing, will concentrate on the studio’s output between 1938 and 1959 when, under the management of Michael Balcon, Ealing gained its reputation as one of the leading studios in British cinema history, reflecting in its operating structure and formal and thematic 1 Mark Duguid, Lee Freeman, Keith M.
