Scholarly and authoritative, yet lucid and intelligible, this is a timely new assessment of British cinema's most vibrant decadeThe authors' collective approach provides valuable insights which demonstrate there was much more to 60s film culture than the Beatles and Bond.　Undoubtedly one of the most important contributions to British cinema history of recent times. -- Professor James Chapman: editor of the Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television
