Summary: From “the best essayist in this country” (The New York Times Book Review) comes an incisive book-length essay about racism in American movies that challenges the underlying assumptions in many of the films that have shaped our consciousness.  Baldwin’s personal reflections on movies gathered here in a book-length essay are also an appraisal of American racial politics. Offering a look at racism in American movies and a vision of America’s self-delusions and deceptions, Baldwin considers such films as In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, and The Exorcist. Here are our loves and hates, biases and cruelties, fears and ignorance reflected by the films that have entertained and shaped us. And here too is the stunning prose of a writer whose passion never diminished his struggle for equality, justice, and social change. -- publisher's web site

Summary: In this book, Mark Harris looks at 1967, and marks it as a pivotal moment in Hollywood's history: the shift from studio -generated epics, westerns and musicals, such as "Doctor Doolitle"to the director-centred European aesthetic seen in "Bonnie & Clyde" and "The Graduate". It was the birth of the New Hollywood. The book look at five films made in this year- "Bonnie & Clyde", "In the heat of the night", "Doctor Doolittle" "The Graduate" and "Guess who's coming to dinner" from the. first draft of the scripts to the impact of their release. The author interviews most of the actors in volved in the making of these films and presents a book about Hollywood and the United States at a critical juncture in their history.
