The careers of many notable actors, directors and oter film-makers were launched in these unpretentious but often very entertaining films that ran for roughly an hour before the cinema 'interval'. Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane's carefully researched study traces the storyof 'B' film production in Britain, from World War 2 to the late 1960s, providing a fresh perspective on the 'B' movie phenomenon , both as artefact and as industry product, as well as highlighting what such films tell us about the changing times in which they were made." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781844573196Contents: -- acknowledgments -- foreword -- preface -- 1.

Double-act : the remarkable lives and careers of Googie Withers and John McCallum / Brian McFarlane Clayton, Victoria: Monash University Publishing, [2015].
Call No: 81WIT MCFAuthor: McFarlane, Brian Source: ATPlace: Clayton, VictoriaPublisher: Monash University PublishingPubDate: [2015]PhysDes: xiii, 241 pages, 32 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, portraits ; 25 cmSubject: MCCALLUM, JOHN ; WITHERS, GOOGIE Summary: Not many can boast of careers that lasted successfully for nearly 70 years, but that is what was achieved by Australian actors Googie Withers and John McCallum. Withers acted everything, from brazen murderesses to Lady Bracknell, as well as a broad range of everyman characters, such as blonde nitwits, wartime Resistance workers, lady farmers, and Shakespearean women. McCallum not only performed memorably in all the acting media, but he was also a pioneer producer in Australian television, sending the popular series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo into the far corners of the world. He was also the managing director of a huge theatrical firm, a film director, a playwright, and an author. Just as remarkable was their 62-year marriage, not all that common in the entertainment world, and the way their marriage succeeded is as fascinating as their varied and prolific careers. There were plenty of disagreements along the way, but underlying all was their profound respect for each other's work and a kind of love that was essentially complementary. Together, in professional and personal matters alike, Googie Withers and John McCallum were an unbeatable combinationNotes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-229) and indexContents: Machine generated contents note: 1.Googie -- 2.John -- 3.John and Googie and Joanna Godden -- 4.A very busy couple -- 5.Heading south -- 6.Interlude -- 7.Going south -- and staying there (more or less) -- 8.New directions -- 9.Small screens and large stages -- 10.Commuting -- 11.Winding up

The never-ending Brief Encounter / Brian McFarlane Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2019.
Call No: 79 BRI MCFAuthor: Mcfarlane, Brian Edition: 2019Place: ManchesterPublisher: Manchester University PressPubDate: 2019PhysDes: xii,120 pages : illus ; 24 cmSubject: BRIEF ENCOUNTER (UK, David Lean, 1945) ; BRIEF ENCOUNTER (UK/US, Alan Bridges, 1974) Summary: This is a book for all those who have been absorbed and moved by Brief Encounter in the seventy or so years since its first appearance. It explores the central relationship of the film, where two people who fall unexpectedly in love come to realise that there is more to life than self-gratification. Mores have undoubtedly changed, for better or worse, but that essential moral choice has never lost its power. While acknowledging this, the book goes further in an effort to account for the way the film has passed into the wider culture. People born decades after its first appearance are now adept at picking up references to it, whether a black-and-white scene in a much later film or a passing joke about a bald man in a barber's shop. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781526124401Donation: Donated by the authorContents: Introduction / 1 Predecessors / 2 Brief Encounter in 1945 / 3 In the wake / 4 Descendants - on radio, stage and screen / 5 Quotations / 6 Echoes / 7 From big screen to small - and elsewhere / 8 Odds and ends / 9 What is it about railway stations? / Conclusion / Index

Novel to film : an introduction to the theory of adaptation / Brian McFarlane Oxford New York: Clarendon Press Oxford University Press, 1996.
Call No: 753 MCFAuthor: McFarlane, Brian, 1934 Place: Oxford New YorkPublisher: Clarendon Press Oxford University PressPubDate: 1996PhysDes: viii, 279 p. : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: ADAPTATIONS ; LITERATURE AND THE CINEMA ; CAPE FEAR (US, Martin Scorsese, 1991) ; SCARLET LETTER, THE (US, Victor Sjostrom, 1926) ; RANDOM HARVEST (US, Mervyn LeRoy, 1942) ; GREAT EXPECTATIONS (UK, David Lean, 1946) ; DAISY MILLER (US, Peter Bogdanovich, 1974) Summary: "'It wasn't as good as the book' is a view often expressed about film adaptations and the starting point of many a film review or conversation. Novel to Film is the first systematic theoretical account of the process by which works of literature are transformed into the good, bad (sometimes ugly) but always distinctive medium of cinema. This book proposes a concise and carefully constructed account of how this metamorphosis may be analysed in depth. Drawing upon modern and literary film theory this book proposes a methodology for considering novels and the films made from them. In the first serious account of its kind, the book begins with a firm theoretical basis for a study of adaptation and then shows how this might be applied to five case studies representing a range of fiction and cinematic practice. The Scarlet Letter, Random Harvest, Great Expectations, Daisy Miller, and Cape Fear are the films, ranging from the silent era to the modern thriller. Uniquely wide ranging, this book provides an important new analysis of a much discussed but little understood topic.' [Taken from BOOK BLURB]Notes: Filmography: p.

Call No: 81MCF MCFAuthor: McFarlane, Brian Place: Glen Waverley, Vic.Publisher: Sid Harta PublishersPubDate: 2010Subject: FILM ; CINEMAS ; MCFARLANE, BRIAN Summary: "From a little before ten years of age, Brian McFarlane became addicted to stories told on the screen and the mere fact that he had difficulty in getting to see the films he wanted - or any for that matter - only made them seem more alluring. But it wasn't just seeing the films that mattered; he also wanted, and and quite soon needed, to be writing about them and these obsessions have been part of his life for the next sixty-odd years. Real and Reel is a light-hearted, ironic acount of a lifetime's addiction. It is one person's story, but it may strike familiar sparks among many others. Though there have been plenty of other interests to keep life lively, nothing else has exerted such a long-standing grip on the author's imagination as film" -- BOOK SLEEVENotes: Includes bibliographical referencesISBN: 9781921642586 (pbk.)Contents: -- Acknowledgements -- Foreword -- Introduction 1.
