Resumen: From the earliest days the British government played a part in the formation of the British Film Industry. However, it was in the aftermath of the crisis caused by American domination of the industry during World War I that the government was forced to intervene directly in order to prevent a total collapse in production. Since then, as one crisis has succeeded another, the question of what the government should do has always been at the centre of plans to rejuvenate the industry. This book, based on new research into sources in the Public Record Office and elsewhere, traces the always tortuous but often fascinating story of the role played by the State in the affairs of Wardour Street. And in a period when there are more calls than ever for government involvement, whether to arrest the catastrophic decline in exhibition or to build on the successes of Gandhi and Chariots of Fire, the story is a timely one.
