Death in Filmland: British Film Studios and 1930s Detective Fiction
British film studios enjoyed unusually high prominence in the 1930s, both as places where popular culture was produced and as elements of popular culture in their own right. It is unsurprising, then, that authors of crime fiction chose to set murder mysteries in film studios, exploiting these facilities’ position in the popular imaginary to appeal to fans of both films and detective stories. This article explores a number of studio-set detective …
‘Bridal Outfits from the Heart of Filmland’: Clothes Rationing, Wartime Film Production and Gainsborough Pictures’ Studio Hire Service
This article explores the Studio Hire Service, a wardrobe ‘pooling’ scheme set up by Gainsborough Pictures at the Shepherd’s Bush film studio following the introduction of clothes rationing in 1941. The Service enabled producers to hire rather than purchase items of clothing for use in their films, saving them money, reducing the number of new outfits required for each production and allowing clothing coupons, which film-makers were expected to u…

That Alien, New-fangled, Thick, Intractable Dodecagon: The Design and Introduction of the 1937 British Threepenny Coin
This article investigates the origins of the British twelve-sided threepenny coin, which entered general circulation in 1937. Having examined the arguments for the coin’s introduction, the article outlines the factors influencing the processes which led to the design of Britain’s first non-circular coin, and considers attitudes both inside and outside the Royal Mint concerning the rival merits of tradition and modernity as they pertained to the B…
‘The Dominions Will Love It’: The Lion Has Wings (1939) and British film propaganda in wartime Australia
The Lion Has Wings (1939) was the first British feature film produced after the start of World War II, and it was released in Australia with no little fanfare. This article explores the film in terms of its status as an imperial flag-waver in the early months of the war, a period when the historic ties that linked Australia to Britain can be understood as having undergone a process of re-articulation and reaffirmation. Yet for all its ideological…

Mortality from venous thromboembolism among young women in Europe: No evidence for any effect of third generation oral contraceptives
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether there has been an increase of venous thromboembolism (VTE) mortality in European countries, concurrent with the replacement of second generation by third generation combined oral contraceptives (COCs). Such an increase has been predicted, and reportedly detected, because published studies have detected an increased incidence of VTE associated with third generation rather than second generation COC use. DESI…
Psychological reactions of drivers to railway suicide
Research Methods: How They Shape Views of Sexual Violence
This article distinguishes among the various research strategies available to the sexual aggression researcher and notes the limited domains of explanation inherent in each approach. Runkel and McGrath's (1972) circumplex typology is adapted as an organizing framework to clarify the relationships among the various research approaches. Examples of each type of research are given from the sexual aggression literature. Specific research strategies a…
Boredom Proneness--The Development and Correlates of a New Scale
This article reports the development, validation, and correlates of a self-report measure of boredom proneness. The 28-item Boredom Proneness (BP) Scale demonstrates satisfactory levels of internal consistency (coefficient alpha = .79) and test-retest reliability (r = .83) over a 1-week interval. Evidence of validity for the BP is supported by correlations with other boredom measures and from a set of studies evaluating interest and attention in …
