In François Truffaut''s opinion The Innocents was ''the best English film after Hitchcock goes to America''. Tennessee Williams said of The Great Gatsby: ''a film whose artistry even surpassed the original novel''. The maker of both films was Jack Clayton, one of the finest English directors of the post-war era and perhaps best remembered for the trail-blazing Room at the Top which brought a new sexual frankness and social realism to the British screen.

This is the first full-length critical study of Clayton''s work. 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films, the book contains new material on Clayton''s many unrealized projects and valuably includes his previously unpublished short story ''The Enchantment'' - as poignant and revealing as the films themselves.

This is a personal and fascinating account of the career and achievement of an important, much-loved director that should appeal to students and film enthusiasts.
Industry Reviews
"He makes no bones about the fact that he considers Clayton to be one of the greats, and he convinced this reviewer that he is right." --"Choice"
