B0BVSJY964 MP3@64 kbps
A fascinating look at Hollywood's most turbulent decade and the demise of the studio system-set against the boom of the post-World War II years, the Cold War, and the atomic age-and the movies that reflected the seismic shifts
"The definitive book on 1950s Hollywood."-Booklist
"Lavish. . . insightful, rich, expansive, penetrating."-Kirkus

Hollywood in the 1950s was a period when the film industry both set conventions and broke norms and traditions-from Cinerama, CinemaScope, and VistaVision to the epic film and lavish musical. It was a decade that saw the rise of the anti-hero  the smoldering, the hidden, and the unspoken  teenagers gone wild in the streets  the sacred and the profane  the revolution of the Method  the socially conscious  the implosion of the studios  the end of the production code  and the invasion of the ultimate body snatcher: the "small screen" television.
Here is Eisenhower's America-seemingly complacent, conformity-ridden revealed in Vincente Minnelli's Father of the Bride, Walt Disney's Cinderella, and Brigadoon, among others.
And here is its darkening, resonant landscape, beset by conflict, discontent, and anxiety (The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Asphalt Jungle, A Place in the Sun, Touch of Evil, It Came From Outer Space) . . . an America on the verge of cultural, political and sexual revolt, busting up and breaking out (East of Eden, From Here to Eternity, On the Waterfront, Sweet Smell of Success, The Wild One, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Jailhouse Rock).
An important, riveting look at our nation at its peak as a world power and at the political, cultural, sexual upheavals it endured, reflected and explored in the quintessential American art form.
