Competition from television and successive changes in government policy all forced the production industry to become more market-sensitive. The films produced by Rank and Ealing, many of which harked back to wartime structures of feeling, were challenged by those backed by Anglo-Amalgamated and Hammer. The latter knew how to address the rebellious feelings and growing sexual discontents of a new generation of consumers. Even the British Board of Film Censors had to adopt a more liberal attitude. The collapse of the studio system also meant that the screenwriters and the art directors had to cede creative control to a new generation of independent producers and film directors. Harper and Porter explore the effects of these social, cultural, industrial, and economic changes on 1950s British cinema."/><meta property="og:title" content="British Cinema of the 1950s"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:site_name" content="Google Books"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=UyYTDAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&imgtk=AFLRE73_8kISYALrVHpjZ9v_9aK1bHx017RmOw8pn65Dr-6askold0e1yRuNM_Ol7EEjU25d-S_SgHvAZQguw-VtvgKNYJ_5JV90Qkw-a_7NCLFQjwmbjIW-cO1lJE1YBp8vnFi1IRXk"/><link rel="image_src" href="https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=UyYTDAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&imgtk=AFLRE73_8kISYALrVHpjZ9v_9aK1bHx017RmOw8pn65Dr-6askold0e1yRuNM_Ol7EEjU25d-S_SgHvAZQguw-VtvgKNYJ_5JV90Qkw-a_7NCLFQjwmbjIW-cO1lJE1YBp8vnFi1IRXk"/><script></script><style>#gbar,#guser{font-size:13px;padding-top:1px !important;}#gbar{height:22px}#guser{padding-bottom:7px !important;text-align:right}.gbh,.gbd{border-top:1px solid #c9d7f1;font-size:1px}.gbh{height:0;position:absolute;top:24px;width:100%}@media all{.gb1{height:22px;margin-right:.5em;vertical-align:top}#gbar{float:left}}a.gb1,a.gb4{text-decoration:underline !important}a.gb1,a.gb4{color:#00c !important}.gbi .gb4{color:#dd8e27 !important}.gbf .gb4{color:#900 !important} #gbar { padding:.3em .6em !important;}</style></head><body class=""><div id=gbar><nobr><a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?tab=pw">Search</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/imghp?hl=en&tab=pi">Images</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&tab=pl">Maps</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://play.google.com/?hl=en&tab=p8">Play</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.youtube.com/?tab=p1">YouTube</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://news.google.com/?tab=pn">News</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=pm">Gmail</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://drive.google.com/?tab=po">Drive</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.google.com.sg/intl/en/about/products?tab=ph"><u>More</u> »</a></nobr></div><div id=guser width=100%><nobr><span id=gbn class=gbi></span><span id=gbf class=gbf></span><span id=gbe></span><a target=_top id=gb_70 href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print&continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DUyYTDAAAQBAJ%26dq%3Dvincent%2Bporter%2Bsue%2Bharper%26pg%3DPA386%26redir_esc%3Dy%26hl%3Den&hl=en&ec=GAZACg" class=gb4>Sign in</a></nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div role="alert" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;"><a href="https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=UyYTDAAAQBAJ&dq=vincent+porter+sue+harper&pg=PA386&redir_esc=y&hl=en&output=html_text" title="Screen reader users: click this link for accessible mode.
