Lindsay Anderson

/“Anderson was famously cynical about the growth of academic Film 
Studies, but he might surely have relished this collection of in-depth 
scholarly essays: authors ranging widely in nationality as in age, from 
Scotland to Japan, from Sweden to Australia, testify to the freshness of 
his films and his legacy. An important book on a major figure in British 
cinema.”/
*Charles Barr, Emeritus Professor, University of East Anglia, UK*
