The National Cinema Series General Editor: Roger Manvell SCANDINAVIAN FILM by Forsyth Hardy The great success of the Swedish films Frenzy and Miss Julie, and of the Danish film The Day of Wrath has drawn much needed attention to the high standard of the Scandinavian Film. As Roger Manvell writes in the preface to this volume, There is a long tradition of production in both Denmark and Sweden which goes back very early in the history of the film, and the characteristics of the Scandinavian style are well marked and quite distinct from those of other European Schools of film-making. For these reasons we felt it to be important to include a volume on the Scandinavian film, that is, the film of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, in the National Cinema Series.' H. Forsyth Hardy is well known as a writer on the film. He was formerly film critic on The Scotsman and was joint-founder and editor of Cinema Quarterly (1932-35), one of the best journals to have appeared in Britain on the art of the film. He is the author of a number of books on film subjects, editor of Grierson on Documentary, and a contributor to Twenty Years of British Film in the National Cinema Series. Also available in the same series are Italian Cinema by Vernon Jarratt and Soviet Cinema by Thorold Dickenson and Catherine de la Roche. 15, net
