Beskrivning
In Reframing the Long 1960s Estella Tincknell explores the way British crime films and television series made during or about that extended decade have been marked by ongoing tensions between nostalgic myths of masculinity, power and whiteness and attempts to challenge or transform those dominant narratives.Tincknell blends cultural analysis and original research with close reading to examine a wide variety of crime subgenres from police procedurals and heist films to gangster narratives and thrillers, comparing the approaches of texts such as Z-Cars (1962-1978), Robbery (1967), Get Carter (1971) and The Sweeney (1975–1978) with those of period dramas aimed at twenty-first century audiences, including The Great Train Robbery (2013), Legend (2015), The Trial of Christine Keeler (2019) and Endeavour (2012–2023). Tincknell identifies the important intersections between text, genre, nostalgia and popular memory as she traces how persistent myths about crime and criminality—and about “the long 1960s” as a defining period for British cultural identity—have been represented and recirculated.

Recensioner i media

This is a well-written and welcome monograph. One may think that Britain’s screen media of the 1960s and early 1970s has been extensively examined, but Estella Tincknell’s illuminating study offers a fresh and distinctive perspective though its focus on power relations in police procedural and gangster narratives produced during or set in the period. Tincknell’s forensic investigation of film and television case studies – including excellent analysis of their soundtracks – uncovers compelling evidence that the era’s privileging of male authority, desire and agency endures in modern reimaginings, crime works that may promise a more enlightened and revisionist framing but ultimately reiterate a strongly masculinist discourse. It is an open and shut case that this original and authoritative volume will prove an important addition to the critical literature on British film and television.
