FILM 41.06 Bond and Beyond

This course will focus on the way changing definitions of Britishness are worked through in the espionage genre as seen in British film (James Bond, The Spy who Came in From the Cold) and television (The Avengers, The Prisoner) in the 1960s. Some of the topics to be discussed include the evolution of 1960s British film from the "kitchen sink" dramas of the early 60s to the Pop-stylishness of Swinging London; the relationship between film and novel, and between discrete texts and on-going series; the impact of Hollywood on British production and the lure of the American market.
