Full Description
The three decades following WWII are considered the golden age of the British thriller film, when characters like James Bond provided audiences with a whole new world of mystery, danger, excitement and suspense. For the first time, the extensive output of British thrillers from 1950 to 1979 is covered in one volume--a detailed reference suitable for film scholars and casual browsing.
Themed chapters cover a total of 845 films including spy thrillers, mystery thrillers, psychological thrillers, action-adventure thrillers, and crime thrillers. Within these chapters, films appear chronologically, each with a synopsis/review. Additional information provided for each film includes production companies and alternate British and US titles, and the work includes eight useful appendices.
