 The British Working Class in Postwar Film by Philip Gillett | PopMatters Book Review
For in his sociological study of postwar Britain and the ways in which film portrayed the working class, the relationship between cinema as a means of popular entertainment and as a text is played out within the establishment of an historical context.

As the relation between audiences and popular film can also get a bit hard to swallow in terms of how one characterizes the other, the anti-theory message is sometimes counterproductive in terms of class: a radical approach is here is to champion one context over another.
