Dear Su,

It might be an idea to contact Sue Harper at the University of Portsmouth.
I am sure you know about her recent co-authored book, British Cinema of the
1950s: The Decline of Deference (OUP, 2003), but she may also be able to
suggest ways of getting hold of the films you want. She is very generous
with her time and very helpful - I'm sure she won't mind if you drop her an
email (I don't think she accesses ScreenL at present).

By the way, how are you. I noticed you and Pete had gone to Canterbury
recently and also that you and Deborah et al. are down for a panel at SCMS
this year - will see you there, as I'm also doing a paper. Be great to
catch up.

wishing you all the best,

Chrisitne Cornea
