Always USA since the late fifties, maybe I could say,
had been trying  to make English films as ours since we all speak Englih. I certainly think is a big misconception 
since England is definetily in Europe and is also a differnt
ferent culture, no matter how much we want to dream that we are an extension of England. Also seems that we have a tendency to mislead, like the terrible selection of the AFI
, AFI. When I was akid in Havana, it wasn't a place full on indians like the unfunny Bob Hope with insidious joke in one of his awful comedies from the 50's. We had very good reviewrs and English films were among the best foreign  films: Comedies with Alec Guinness, David Lean until The Bridge Over the River Kwai, Carol Reed, in the sixties Richardson was English, also Karel Reisz, and more. Even the period of Hitchcock in England is BRITISH.Chinatown is an american film by a poland director..My Fair Lady is an English play with English stars but directed by George Cukor
if anybody needs more information or debate about this, Am more than happy to share with all.John Camporino
