Investigates Hollywood's ability to appeal to British filmgoers, as well as its ability to alienate, enrage and amuse them across films ranging from The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1922) to The Patriot (2000).
For 100 years, Hollywood has provided both the majority and the most popular of films shown on British screens. For many Britons, Hollywood films are not foreign films. Whether seen in the cinema, on television or the internet, they are regarded as normal screen fare and a part of everyday life. Hollywood and the Americanization of Britain is the first book to take a wide ranging view of this phenomenon, exploring the tastes and preferences of British audiences from the silent era to the present. Mark Glancy investigates the British reception of Hollywood films, ranging from The Public Enemy through film history to The Patriot and Grease. Drawing on rich original sources, his carefully researched and lively book explores Hollywood''s capacity to appeal to British audiences, as well as its ability to alienate, enrage and amuse them.
