Carol Reed
Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed’s entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed’s art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed’s relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.
The Life and Films of Carol Reed
Routinely hailed as Britain's greatest film director during the late 1940s, Sir Carol Reed was responsible for the 'Best British Film' for three years in a row - a feat still unequalled. Although those three movies - Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol and The Third Man were the undoubted high point of a four decade career, Reed's other pictures were never less than entertaining and meticulously made, including Bank Holiday, Night Train to Munich, The Stars Look Down, Trapeze and Outcast of the Islands. Although less acclaimed today, Carol Reed's enviable body of work is long overdue for reassessment. James Howard's most recent books have included definitive surveys of the careers of British film-makers Michael Powell and Robert Hamer.

Carol Reed
"Carol Reed - director of thirty-four films, among them Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, Outcast of the Islands, Mutiny on the Bounty and, of course, the great postwar classic The Third Man." "He is fully revealed here as the complex, reticent, eccentric man of enormous gifts who understood actors and writers (he was both) and was a master of the art of telling stories, and making movies." "At the center of Reed's life was the fact of his birth: He was the illegitimate son of one of Edwardian England's great character actors, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who for fifty years dominated the London stage and whose flamboyant personality and love affairs were legend. Nicholas Wapshott shows how Reed's...
The Reed of God
The Reed of God is an inspirational classic written by a British Roman Catholic ecclesiastical artist, Caryll Houselander. This book contains a beautiful meditation on Mary, Mother of God and so much more. Reading this book will bring you closer to Our Blessed Mother, and hence, to Christ Himself. Filled with lyrical prose and touching analogies, the author shows how Mary was the "Reed of God" and that we are all vessels waiting to do God's work, and carrying Christ within us.

Carol Reed
Sobre Carol Reed sigue pesando cierta desconsideración por parte de la crítica cinematográfica que no ha sido capaz de valorarlo en su justa medida más allá de los elogios que siempre ha despertado "El tercer hombre", su obra más popular y trascendente. Sin embargo, Reed es el autor de varias obras maestras como la influyente "Larga es la noche" o "El ídolo caído", y responsable de películas poco apreciadas como "La llave" y "Desterrado de las islas". Luis García Gil indaga en los claroscuros de una obra rutilante que supo transitar varios géneros, de la comedia al drama, de la película histórica al musical, como demostró en la oscarizada "Oliver!" En Carol Reed confluyen varios mundos a lo largo de cuatro décadas de arte cinematográfico en las que estableció relaciones tan fecundas como la que le unió al escritor Graham Greene. Admirado por cineastas como Roman Polanski, el cine de Reed sigue plenamente vigente como ratifica esta aproximación a su obra en la que se reivindica el importante legado del cineasta británico.
