The first scholarly volume on 1960s British cinema for more than 
twenty-five years, this book provides a major reconsideration of the 
period by focusing on the central tensions and contradictions between 
novelty/revolution and continuity/tradition during what remains a highly 
contentious period of cultural production and consumption.

*Key features*

·Explores the British film industry, production, distribution and state 
support during the 1960s

·Examines creative agency, production cultures, and contributions made 
by different creative practitioners to British film culture

·Investigates British cinema’s connections with television, advertising 
and pop music

Scholarly and authoritative, yet lucid and intelligible, this is a 
timely new assessment of British cinema's most vibrant decade. The 
authors' collective approach provides valuable insights which 
demonstrate there was much more to 60s film culture than the Beatles and 
Bond. Undoubtedly one of the most important contributions to British 
cinema history of recent times.
