- This book involved commitments of time to viewing ancillary examples and working with archival sources. The book presents an account of action and adventure cinema as genre, theorising action as a mode of filmmaking and tracing the historical development of the genre since the 1920s. The historical material presented in chapter two required familiarity with multiple film examples, while identification of case studies meant significant time reviewing film material from these decades. Chapters four and five required use of resources held in the Margaret Herrick Library, Los Angeles, including original press coverage, treatments, scripts and correspondence with the Hays Office.
