Charles Barr's book EALING STUDIOS (London, Studio Vista, 2nd ed., 1993) remains - and quite rightly so - the definitive study of Ealing's output, and argues convincingly that to concentrate on the well-known comedies of the late-40s is to ignore the vast majority of Ealing's output, much of which provides a lot of background context for these films.
