It's a crime that this book is out of print because I don't think I've ever read such an informative book on British cinema before. Author's Wells and Catterall delve into British cult films from the 60's through to the 90's. No scene, location, actor/actress, plot or origin is left untouched. You'll find everything you need to know about why they chose to shoot a scene in "Get Carter" in a carpark, what became of the alley where Jimmy shagged in "Quadrophenia", how David Thewillis and fellow cast members were nearly qarrested during the filming of "Naked" or how Mick Jagger wound up in "Performance". I'm on my third copy, my previous two were given to good friends as gifts, now all I have is a rain sodden, dog eared copy. Do yourself a favor, if you like films like "If", "Get Carter", "The Wicker Man", "Withnail & I", "A Hard Day's Night" or "Trainspotting" (just to name a few)track down a copy.
