Anatomy of Pinewood in transition -- Bibliography. 330 $aThis open access book examines how Pinewood came to be Britain?s dominant film studio complex, focusing on key years following the Second World War. It presents a revisionist, micro history organized around key themes that are crucial to understanding the studios? longevity during a particularly turbulent period. Pinewood?s survival at a time when other major film studios such as Denham closed, is explained. The book examines contemporary insights into how Pinewood?s technologies and practices compared to Hollywood?s when filmmaking methods were being scrutinized. Thirteen films produced in 1946-7 are analysed in detail, tracking how economic pressures engendered many creative techniques and innovative technologies. Prevailing cultures of management and labour organization are foregrounded, as well as insights into being a studio employee. These are vividly brought to life through an in-depth focus on the in-house studio magazine the Pinewood Merry-Go Round which provides rare details of sports and leisure activities organized at the studios.
