I would like to dedicate this book to two strong women who inspired by example: my mother Bama Natarajan (1935-2014) and my mother-in-law, Laurelle Baron Parrotta (1924-2020). They lived through the period these films delineate.
Acknowledgments
I thank the University of Puerto Rico for funding a trip to the British Film Institute, London and to Pinewood Studios as I began my research for the book. My research assistants during this project, Sharif el Gammal Ortiz and Sherin Shehada, were helpful with bibliography searches, critiques, and proofreading. Many thanks to them. I also wish to thank my editors at Palgrave for the unfailing support and courtesy they showed throughout this process.
