		London Belongs to Me Set in a house in a Victorian terrace in Kennington, this tells some intersecting odd stories of the house's inhabitants, which include Alistair Sim as a seedy 'medium' and Richard Attenborough as a lad tempted by criminality which leads to murder.
		When this film came out there was much talk in the reviews of how Woody Allen couldn't write authentic dialogue into the mouths of real Brits, and how he'd resorted to tourist-cliché London locations.

	London Films by William Dean Howells: AMERICAN ORIGINS--MOSTLY SOUTHERN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The church, which is so uninterestingly ugly as not to compete with the relic of Roman wall, stands at the base of a little triangle planted with young elms that made a green quiet, and murmured to the silence with their stiffening leaves.
		The "offscourings" of London, which the companies carried rather more to the southward than the northward with us, were hardly scoured off in Whitechapel, which was a decent enough ancestral source for any American strain.
		It is a large impressive interior, after the manner of Wren, and at the moment of our visit was smelling of varnish; most London churches smell of mortar, when in course of their pretty constant reparation, and this was at least a change.

		But New York and London may always be intelligibly compared because they are both the effect of an indefinite succession of anarchistic impulses, sometimes correcting and sometimes promoting, or at best sometimes annulling one another.
		You are now a molecule of that vast organism, as you sit under your umbrella on your omnibus-top, with the public waterproof apron across your knees, and feel in supreme degree the insensate exultation of being part of the largest thing of its kind in the world, or perhaps the universe.
		At the right moment of the ripening London season the foliage of the trees is densely yet freshly green and flatteringly soft to the eye; the grass below has that closeness of texture which only English grass has the secret of.

		From his arrival in Britain in 1931 he set about building a British film industry which had barely existed before.
		As a result the films tended to share both Korda's strengths - high production standards, a lush visual style - and his faults - a focus on lavish set and costume design, often at the expense of the details of character and plot, and a rather superficial approach to storytelling.
		's belief that the key to success was investing in comparatively few films while keeping production standards high and guaranteeing glamour and spectacle.

	Schulers Books (London Films - 1/33)
		To the sojourner scarcely more will vouchsafe itself than to the passing stranger, and it is chiefly to home-keeping folk who have never broken their ignorance of London that one can venture to speak with confidence from the cumulative misgiving which seems to sum the impressions of many sojourns of differing lengths and dates.
		What appears to be a fact, fixed and absolute amid a shimmer of self- question, is that any one coming to London in the beginning of April, after devious delays in the South and West of England, is destined to have printed upon his mental films a succession of meteorological changes quite past computation.
		Yet if one were as willing to be honest as one is willing to be graphic, one would allow that probably the weather on the other side of the Atlantic was then behaving with quite as swift and reckless caprice.

		Fiennes is the solid and loving diplomat husband of Rachel Weisz's unconventional political activist, whose death, early in the film, signals his Orphic descent into hell to retrieve her and, despite the attention of the British government, to finish her investigation into the illicit activities of pharmaceutical companies in Africa.
		Not the greatest film noir, but one of the first and easily a classic.

		London, however, although England's Capital, is often ignored in homegrown films that favour the grittiness of the North or the beauty of the Countryside.
		Nevertheless many directors of fiction films, television series and documentaries have effectively exploited the indefinable ambiance of London in their movies as both a source of humanity (Shakespeare In Love, 84 Charing Cross Road) and malevolence (From Hell, Oliver Twist).
		Not just a cinematic close-up of mid-60s London based around the life of a fashion photographer but a brilliantly-written snapshot of an emerging rootless generation.
