The authors do not only provide outlines of individual films that could have been, but, more fundamentally, investigate the financial, legal, creative, political and logistical difficulties of getting films into production and onto screens. Their chapters deal, often in a wholly surprising manner, with familiar names (ranging from David OSelznick and Hammer Films to Jean-Luc Godard and Ritwik Ghatak) and also with a wealth of lesser known personnel and companies. * Peter Krmer, author of BFI Film Classics on 2001: A Space Odyssey (2020), Dr. Strangelove (2014) and The General (2016) *
