• Resumen

  • The term 'Ealing' has become a byword for a slightly cosy vision of post-war Britain as a land of loveable eccentrics, tight-knit communities and cheery public-spiritedness. But the comedies that enshrined these values make up only a fraction of the studio's output during the 1940s and 50s. The first of a new quarterly series of 'Deep Focus' features-taking an in-depth look at pivotal movements, genres or individials in cinema history via a study of 12 key films-examines the darker currents running through Ealing's surprisingly diverse output, which also embraced war films, noir costume drama and social realism.
