Christopher Challis, a distinguished Director of Photography, worked in the British Film Industry for almost fifty years and now looks back on a career that involved him with such giants as Alexander Korda, Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger and Stanley Donen. Among the many films he photographed are: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines, the Tales of Hoffman and - perhaps the most famous of them all - Genevieve.

Are they Really So Awful? was a question directed at Christopher Challis when he was a young man, and referred to everyone involved in the making of films. In retirement his answer to the question is 'Yes' - but his delightful memoir shows that he loved every moment of it.
