  • Andrew Martin Is an Author, Journalist and Broadcaster. His Previous Books with Profile Are Underground, Overground and Belles and Whistles
    ANDREW MARTIN is an author, journalist and broadcaster. His previous books with Profile are Underground, Overground and Belles and Whistles. He has written for the Guardian, Evening Standard, Independent on Sunday, Daily Telegraph and New Statesman, amongst many others. His ‘Jim Stringer’ series of novels based around railways is published by Faber. His latest novel, Soot, is set in late eighteenth-century York. Praise for Night Trains ‘You do not have to be a trainspotter to enjoy this book. It is social history, a kind of epitaph to a way of travel that seems to be lost, at least in Europe.’ Spectator ‘A delightful book … charmingly combines Martin’s own travels, as he recreates journeys on famous trains such as the Orient Express, with a serious, occasionally geeky, history of those elegant wagons lits of the past … Even if you’re not into the detail of rail gauges, this book is the perfect companion as you wait for the 8.10 from Hove.’ Observer ‘Excellent … Mr Martin paints a vivid picture of this world on rails … he proves a witty companion who wears his knowledge lightly’ Country Life ‘Andrew Martin has cornered the train market. He is the Bard of the Buffer, the Balladeer of the Blue Train, the Laureate of Lost Property … I picked up Night Trains knowing that I would be entertained, but also in the hope that his many years of experience would teach me how to sleep on a sleeper … Andrew Martin is the best sort of travel writer: inquisitive, knowledgeable, lively, congenial. He is also very funny, while never letting the humour drive reality, rather than vice versa.

    Studiocanal et Tamasa présentent [THE CONSTANT HUSBAND] VERSION RESTAURÉE un film de SIDNEY GILLIAT UK - 1955 - 1H44 SORTIE LE 14 DÉCEMBRE 2016 DISTRIBUTION Tamasa PRESSE 5 rue de Charonne 75011 Paris Frédérique Giezendanner Tel : 01 43 59 01 01 Tel : 06 10 37 16 00 [email protected] [email protected] Dans une chambre, un homme reprend conscience. Frappé d’amnésie, il entreprend, avec l’aide d’un spécialiste, d’exhumer son passé. Mais ce qu’il découvre n’est pas vraiment agréable. Marié à une ravissante et tendre femme, il comprend avec effroi que ce passé est bien trouble et que marié maintes fois, on le recherche activement... pour polygamie ! LE REGARD DE CHARLOTTE GARSON Le miroir brisé de la masculinité Alors que l’Amérique a tricoté pendant les années 1930 et 40 les comédies « de remariage », resserrant les liens d’une institution discréditée à coup de brillantes scènes de ménage où époux et épouses s’éduquent mutuellement, le cinéma britannique d’après-guerre conclut film après film qu’il y aura toujours quelque chose de pourri au royaume matrimonial. Plaçant un amnésique face à ses mariages successifs, Un mari presque fidèle met en scène un Candide qui découvre différents ménages – l’un bourgeois et moderne, le suivant populaire et sentimental – sans y trouver la moindre promesse de bonheur. Le contraste entre les deux côtés de l’Atlantique est frappant : dans La Huitième Femme de Barbe Bleue d’Ernst Lubitsch (1938), Claudette Colbert donne du fil à retordre à Gary Cooper dont la fortune lui a permis d’enchaîner sept mariages avant de lui demander sa main, mais les Anglaises de cette comédie de Sidney Gilliat sortie en 1955 sont toutes prêtes à rempiler avec l’homme qui leur cachait sa sextuple vie.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References CHAPTER 1 To provide an intellectual and cultural framework for examining Carol Reed's films, a history of the British cinema from its origins through to the Second World War is offered in this chapter. Although Reed began directing in 1935, 1939 seemed a tidier, more logical cut-off point for the survey. All the information in the chapter is synthesized from several excellent works on the subject: Roy Armes's A Critical History of the British Cinema, Ernest Betts' The Film Business, Ivan Butler's Cinema in Britain, Denis Gifford's British Film Catalogue, Rachel Low's History of the British Film, and George Perry's The Great British Picture Show.

What drove Knoblock to the Sussex seaside town after the expo- sure of Los Angeles is not entirely clear, but the impulse to retreat to a world of quintessential Englishness has often appeared to be the rai- son d’être for many British writers and directors of the era who were quickly appalled by the brash commercialism of the Hollywood film industry. In Knoblock’s case, it was an even more fascinating compunc- tion that took hold of him because he was American born (originally Edward Knoblauch of German parents in New York in 1874), but ended up residing in Britain for much of his life.
