Item Number: 114708

Manchester: Carcanet, 1993.

First edition of this compilation of Greene’s film criticisms and essays. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a fine dust jacket.

Twenty years before his celebrated films The Third Man, The Fallen Idol and Brighton Rock, Graham Greene was deeply involved with the cinema as critic, essayist and polemicist. Described by Basil Wright as 'a child of the film age', Greene became one of the most perceptive and trenchant film critics in the 1930s, involved in many aspects of the industry: as screen writer, producer, adaptor and performer. Mornings in the Dark brings together his film essays, interviews, radio talks, film scripts, and several short stories never before published in book form.
