About Sixties Cinema

The 1960s were a restless, magnificent age for the movies. Hollywood spent lavishly on widescreen spectacles, chariots, sandals and thousands of extras, while a new wave of European directors brought intimacy and ambiguity to the art form. At the same time, glossy spy thrillers and soaring song-and-dance spectaculars packed cinemas from Leicester Square to Los Angeles, making the decade a genuinely golden era on both sides of the Atlantic.

  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps — never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
