Lance Comfort (British Film Makers) Book

This is a study of the work of Lance Comfort who made many films between 1941 and 1965. There was the success of his second feature as director, "Hatter's Castle" (1941) and when he returned to this melodcramatic vein in 1945 he made a series of studies in obsession, including "Bedelia" (1945) with Margaret Lockwood as a murderess, and "Temptation Harbour" (1947) starring Robert Newton as a decent man in the grip of erotic attraction. The book should appeal to students and researchers in British cinema, as well as to anyone with an interest in British films - and why they were the way they were - in their most productive period.Read More

    Who is Lance Comfort? The short answer is that he is the most unjustly neglected director in British film history. McFarlane's lively, thoroughly researched study aims to correct this situation. In the years between 1941 and 1965 he made some of the most entertaining films in Britain. There was the striking success of his second feature as director, Hatter's Castle (1941). When he returned to this melodramatic vein in 1945 he made a series of highly proficient and enjoyable studies in obsession, including Bedelia (1946) with Margaret Lockwood, and Temptation Harbour (1947) starring Robert Newton. Before this book, Comfort's career has never been charted in full.
