Despite the Prime Minister’s attempt to limit its impact, the conflict set in train transformations that meant Britain would never be the same again. Whether the Second World War was the great discontinuity some historians claim – and the precise extent to which it radicalized the country – remain moot questions, but it undoubtedly changed many people’s lives and made some question how they had been governed before the conflict.1 The war also paved the way for Labour’s 1945 general election victory, one underpinned by the party’s claim that through a welfare state, the nationalization of key industries and extensive government planning it could make Britain a more equal society. The key political moment of the war came in late May and early June 1940 when Allied troops were evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk. The fall of France soon followed, meaning Britain stood alone against Hitler’s forces and became vulnerable to invasion for the first time since Napoleon dominated Europe.

  • The Ladykillers Makes Its North American Premiere at the Shaw Festival - Macabre Comedy Caper Begins Previews June 11 –
    IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Ladykillers makes its North American premiere at the Shaw Festival - Macabre comedy caper begins previews June 11 – Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON (June 10, 2019) — After taking London’s West End by storm, comedy thriller The Ladykillers makes its North American premiere under the direction of Artistic Director Tim Carroll. The Shaw Festival’s production of Graham Linehan’s stage adaptation – based on one of the best-loved British films of all time – begins previews tomorrow at the Festival Theatre. Set in 1950s London, a motley crew of criminals led by Professor Marcus (Damien Atkins) occupy the upstairs room of Mrs. Wilberforce's (Chick Reid) rickety Victorian house. Posing as a classical string quartet, the gang plan the greatest act of thievery ever, but things soon start to get complicated. Full of gags, grim humour and hijinks, The Ladykillers also features the talents of Kristopher Bowman, Fiona Byrne, Martin Happer, Claire Jullien, Andrew Lawrie, Ric Reid and Steven Sutcliffe. Designer Judith Bowden creates a cramped jungle-gym of a Victorian house in the north London district of King’s Cross and costumes infused with influences from the 1950s, film noir and Teddy Boy style. Enhancing and heightening the action and tension is lighting by Kevin Lamotte and original music by Paul Sportelli. This production also features fight direction by John Stead. This North American premiere of The Ladykillers by Graham Linehan, from the motion picture screenplay by William Rose, is presented by special arrangement with Studiocanal, in association with Fiery Angel, London. The Ladykillers is on stage at the Festival Theatre (10 Queen’s Parade, Niagara-on-the-Lake) from June 11 to October 12 (eligible for review beginning July 4).

  • Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg
    Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg ROBERT WINTER* In lecture form this paper was illustrated with video clips from Ealing films. These are noted below in boxes in the text. My subject is the legendary Ealing Studios comedies. But the comedies were only the tip of the iceberg. To show this I will give a sketch of the film industry leading to Ealing' s success, and of the part played by Sir Michael Balcon over 25 years.! Today, by touching a button or flicking a switch, we can see our values, styles, misdemeanours, the romance of the past and present-and, with imagination, a vision of the" future. Now, there are new technologies, of morphing, foreground overlays, computerised sets, electronic models. These technologies affect enormously our ability to give currency to our creative impulses and credibility to what we do. They change the way films can be produced and, importantly, they change the level of costs for production. During the early 'talkie' period there many artistic and technical difficulties. For example, artists had to use deep pan make-up to' compensate for the high levels of carbon arc lighting required by lower film speeds. The camera had to be put into a soundproof booth when shooting back projection for car travelling sequences. * Robert Winter has been associated with the film and television industries since he appeared in three Gracie Fields films in the mid-1930s. He joined Ealing Studios as an associate editor in 1942 and worked there on more than twenty features. After working with other studios he became a founding member of Yorkshire Television in 1967.
