OverviewFew novelists have taken films as seriously, or been closely involved in so many aspects of the film business all their lives, as Graham Greene. Even at University he was touching on it. His long-term experience of the evolving art included producing, performing, script-writing and adaptation. Not to mention the libel case against him brought by Miss Shirley Temple for some disobliging words. Mornings in the Dark gathers some of Greene's best film criticism with a mass of related material: his film articles, interviews, lectures and radio talks, stories for film, letters and film proposals. With appendices on Greene's own films and unfulfilled film projects, and David Parkinson's introduction, this is an essential collection for readers of fiction and film enthusiasts alike.

Table of ContentsReviews'I well remember, when I was beginning as a film critic, reading with the most passionate envy the writings of Graham Greene in the Spectator... [I]t struck me that this was the kind of thing that film criticism should be.' - Dilys Powell, The Listener Author InformationTwenty years before his celebrated films The Third Man, The Fallen Idol and Brighton Rock, Graham Greene was deeply involved with the cinema as critic, essayist and polemicist. Described by Basil Wright as 'a child of the film age', Greene became one of the most perceptive and trenchant film critics of the 1930s, involved in many aspects of the industry: as a screen writer, producer, adaptor and performer, with a considerable knowledge of camera technique. He passed away in April 1991. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
