From the Blue Halls of the silent screen to the more famous Bray Studios, the history of Hammer was as rich and varied as that of the post-1957 period for which it is best known. Here, for the first time, is the whole story of the company, including early attempts to break into the lucrative American market, to the informal tie-in with the British Broadcasting Corporation which eventually brought about the science fiction sensation of The Quatermass Xperiment and gave X-certificate audiences their first taste of Hammer Horror.
HAMMER FILMS: The Whole Story is the complete 115-year history of Hammer to date and the most thorough and comprehensive biography of the most colorful company in the annals of British film. This is the complete Hammer, not limited to the horrors but the entirety of the Hammer story.
