Book Presentation:
Often referred to as the first day of the week, Sunday was the last frontier for cinemagoing access in Britain and represented complex perspectives on the cultural turbulence of the period. This book examines the efforts of the countless people who coalesced around the Sunday cinema movement. These cinematic communities began to see the social necessity of film and challenged the institution of the British Sunday to make room for this new cultural practice.
Cinema on Sundays recounts the emergence of legal Sunday cinema culture in Britain between the 1920s to the 1950s. By utilising newly uncovered sources, this book uncovers the larger social, political and legal history into a topic often seen as a small historical curiosity. Sunday cinemagoers forever altered the one day a week most people were free from work.
