Author: Neil SinyardISBN: 9780719055058Publisher: Manchester University PressYear first published: 02 Jan 2001Pages: 304 Format: Paperback / softbackAlthough his films "The Innocen ts" and "The Great Gatsby" were highly thought of by Fran ois Truffaut and Tennessee Williams respectively, British director Jack Clayton was perhaps best remembered for "Room at the Top", which brought a new sexual frankness and social realism to the British screen. Whilst researching this critical study, the author has been able to consult and quote from the director's own private papers which illuminate Clayton's creative practices and artistic intentions. In addition to fresh analyses of the individual films, the book contains new material on Clayton's many unrealized projects and includes his previously unpublished short story "The Enchantment".
