The Sixties: Yanks in Britain

My published Flavorpill post:

The pop troupers of the British Invasion weren't the 1960s' only across-the-pond transplants. In fact, several famous American studio directors — Stanley Kubrick, Fred Zinnemann, Otto Preminger — found themselves paid by the pound with reasons that ranged from blacklisting to the chance of the foreign carte blanche. MoMA's made-in-the-UK series spotlights the reverse pilgrimage with a few first-class efforts, including Richard Lester's fast and furious Hard Day's Night and the Kubrick favorite, Dr. Strangelove. England being the land of letters, the featured screenwriters are superlative: Terry Southern (Strangelove), Vladimir Nabokov (Lolita), Robert Bolt (Zinnemann's A Man For All Seasons), and the late great Harold Pinter (Joseph Losey's The Servant).
