Summary

Franccedil;ois Truffaut calledThe Innocents"the best English film afterHitchcock Goes to America." Tennessee Williams saidThe Great Gatsbywas "a film whose artistry even surpassed the original novel." The maker of both films was Jack Clayton, one of the greatest English directors of the post-war era, best remembered for the trail-blazingRoom at the Top.This is the first full-length critical study of Clayton's work. Neil Sinyard draws on the director's private papers for a fresh analysis of the individual films. The book contains new material on Clayton's many unrealized projects and includes his previously unpublished short storyThe Enchantment--as poignant and revealing as the films themselves.

Author Biography

Neil Sinyard is Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Hull.
