I think appreciation for Hammer and possibly British cinema generally is greater outside of Britain,I'm thinking of people like Scorsese who aren't afraid of taking them seriously.Having said that David Pirie and other British writers have championed them for decades,even if some of the people responsible for making them were rather they were forgotten-why is it that Freddie Francis can remember working on "The Innocents" clearly enough but when asked about his Hammer work (or other horror stuff) he develops Alzheimers?But then Britain invented snobbery didn't it?...or was it the French?
