The first detailed examination of the place of pop music film in British cinema, Stephen Glynn explores the interpenetration of music and cinema in an economic, social and aesthetic context through case studies ranging from Cliff Richard to The Rolling Stones, and from The Beatles to Plan B.

Stephen Glynn is Associate Research Fellow at De Montfort University, UK. He is author of A Hard Day's Night: The British Film Guide (I.B. Tauris, 2004) and a monograph on Quadrophenia (forthcoming).
