The story begins with Ohio-born Charles Urban who came to London in 1898 and deserves credit for major involvement in the creation of a British film industry. While Ireland was still a part of Britain, the New York-based Kalem Company made films there from 1910 to 1913. British producers realized the importance of American stars, and many actors, beginning with Florence Turner (who was arguably also the first American star), made numerous British films. In the 1920s, such Hollywood stars as Mae Marsh, Betty Blythe, and Dorothy Gish remained active in Britain. In the 1930s, as their careers came to a halt, more than one hundred former American stars made the trip to England, partly as a vacation and partly in the hope of reenergizing their careers.Chapters discuss American cinematographers at work in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s and the introduction of Technicolor to British films. Diversity is represented by African American performers (most notably Paul Robeson), the Chinese American star Anna May Wong, along with female filmmakers from Hollywood. With Britain's declaration of war on Germany, there were Americans who stayed, such as Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon, contributing to the war effort. America became actively involved in British cinema after World War II, with many Hollywood studios producing films there. As the years progressed, the British film industry became an international film industry. The book concludes with the Harry Potter and James Bond series, indicative of a new international cinema, with financing and behind-the-camera talent coming from the United States, but with British locales and British stars"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & Criticism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Motion picture industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027150 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Slide, Anthony. $t Special relationship $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2015 $z 9781628460889 $w (DLC) 2014046322 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180112035343.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AD8E58F66BEF11E5917E58C1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
