Book Synopsis
Drawing on over 30 interviews with key personnel from Working Title, Polygram and Universal, the author examines not only how this remarkable company has evolved but also why it has evolved in the way that it has by situating its history within the ever-changing landscape of the British and Hollywood film industries.

Trade Review
"Essential reading for anyone engaged in the serious study of contemporary British cinema, Nathan Townsend's book provides a long overdue full critical analysis of Working Title's operations and outputs since its inception four decades ago. It traces the company's complex history and surveys the full range of its transnational endeavours, from Oscar-winning highs to critic infuriating lows, and is nourished throughout by Townsend's conceptual sophistication and granular attention to detail." -Melanie Williams, University of East Anglia
