An examination of lesbian and gays in British cinema, this book explores a range of lesbian and gay screen images from such diverse films as "Soldiers of the King", "Pygmalion", "Dangerous Moonlight", "Blithe Spirit", "Brief Encounter", and "The Servant", revealing a vital, varied and sensuous cinema. Arranged chronologically, and examining performers, directors and over 150 famous, half-remembered and forgotten films, the book forms a celebration of the contribution of gays and lesbians to British cinema culture. It includes an appendix of gay men's reactions to "Victim", the landmark Dirk Bogart film.
