Sommario/riassunto

This book sheds new light on the under-researched period of early British cinema through a history of the British and Colonial Kinematograph Company in the years 1908-1916, when it became one of Britain's leading film producers. The book provides an account of its films and personalities, and explores its production methods and business practices.
