Interesting to analyse what was popular. Comedies of course (I'm Alright Jackl, Operation Bullshine, The Birdal Path, Left Right and Centre, The Captain's Table). Franchises (Carry on, Tarzan, Norman Wisdom comedies). Kenneth More vehicles (39 Steps, Northwest Frontier, Fractured Jaw). Films with kid protagonists. Musical adaptations (Serious Charge). Low budget thrillers (Rough and the Smooth). Horror (Black Museum, Hound of the Baskerville, Jack the Ripper) Only two dramas (Sapphire, Doctor's Dilemma).
