That's really interesting to read. I grew up on a lot of these films - Saturday and Sunday afternoon films on the tv! Plus my mum was born in 1931 so she had seen these movies at the cinema on release. The films are a lot more nuanced than some of the categorisation of them that has been popular in film study circles. Thank you for sharing the I sights from the development of this project.
Thanks Lisa. I'm really interested in the way Ealing films became canonised in this way as a result of them being screened on TV from the 1960s onwards (I encountered a lot of films from this era as a kid/teenager, watching them with my grandad).
