The Finest Years by Charles Drazin

The British cinema during the 1940s was enjoying an unlikely renaissance. This book chronicles these seminal years for British cinema through the characters and aspirations of some of its leading personalities. Drawing on interviews and research, it brings to life the atmosphere, ambience and connections of a film-making community.
'Charles Drazin's The Finest Years is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the decade and highly entertaining' - Philip French, Observer 'Charles Drazin's indispensably informative The Finest Years provides detailed documentation of what may have been the greatest decade in this country's movie-making, despite - or perhaps because of - the idiosyncrasies of the moviemakers.' - Books of the Year, Daily Telegraph
Charles Drazin's other books include In Search of The Third Man and Korda: Britain's Only Movie Mogul. He is currently writing The Faber History of the French Cinema and lectures on film at Queen Mary, University of London
