- Summary:
- ""The Last Bohemian" is a study of Belfast-born film director Brian Desmond Hurst (1895-1986), who made upwards of thirty films in British film studios from the 1930s to the 1960s. His films helped shape the British cinematic imaginary of an era but, as an Irish bohemian exiled in London, he lived out a complex, imagined connection with 'Ireland' that is captured in his films"-- Provided by publisher.
