Mornings in the Dark

Twenty years before the celebrated films The Third Man, The Fallen Idol and Brighton Rock, Graham Greene was deeply involved with cinema as critic, essayist and polemicist. Described by Basil Wright as a child of the film age, Greene became one of the most perceptive, trenchant film critics of the 1930s, with first-hand experience as screen writer, producer, adaptor and performer, and a considerable knowledge of camera technique.
