Summary: "Exploring Hollywood feature films as well as small studio productions, Adaptation Theory and Criticism provides the reader with an informative background on adaptation theory and postmodern methodology and includes eight case studies on more than a dozen American films, some of which have been used before (Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York, The Great Gatsby, and Do the Right Thing) and some that have received less consideration (Six Degrees of Seperation, Smoke, Smoke Signals, Broken Flowers, and various Snow White narratives including Enchanted, Mirrir Mirror, and Snow White and the Huntsman. Useful for both film and literary studies, Gordon Slethaug's Adaptation theory and criticism cogently combines existing scholarship with new theories and insights, encouraging readers to think about intertextual connections between literature and film in the USA." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "America's Film Legacy is a guide to the most significant films ever made in the United States. Unlike opinionated "Top 100" and arbitrary "Best of" lists, these are the real thing: groundbreaking films that make up the backbone of American cinema. Some are well-known, such as Citizen Kane, Casablanca, The Godfather, and Toy Story. Others are more obscure - Blacksmithing Scene, Mom and Dad, Chulas Fronteras, and Free Radicals. Daniel Eagan's beautifully written and authoritative book is for anyone who loves American movies and who wants to learn more about them. Each of the 500 titles in the National Film Registry is covered in a detailed essay that includes cast, credits, and major awards, as well as screening information. With over 100 illustrations and frame enlargements. " -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "This edited collection assesses the complex historical and contemporary relationships between US and Australian cinema by tapping directly into discussions of national cinema, transnationalism and global Hollywood. While most equivalent studies aim to define national cinema as independent from or in competition with Hollywood, this collection explores a more porous set of relationships through the varied production, distribution and exhibition associations between Australia and the US. To explore this idea, the book investigates the influence that Australia has had on US cinema through the exportation of its stars, directors and other production personnel to Hollywood, while also charting the sustained influence of US cinema on Australia over the last hundred years. It takes two key points in time—the 1920s and 1930s and the last twenty years—to explore how particular patterns of localism, nationalism, colonialism, transnationalism and globalisation have shaped its course over the last century. The contributors re-examine the concept and definition of Australian cinema in regard to a range of local, international and global practices and trends that blur neat categorisations of national cinema. Although this concentration on US production, or influence, is particularly acute in relation to developments such as the opening of international film studios in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and the Gold Coast over the last thirty years, the book also examines a range of Hollywood financed and/or conceived films shot in Australia since the 1920s." -- BOOK BACK COVER

Summary: "American Ethnographic Film and Personal Documentary is a critical history of American filmmakers crucial to the development of ethnographic film and personal documentary. The Boston and Cambridge area is notable for nurturing these approaches to documentary film via institutions such as the MIT Film Section and the Film Study Center, the Carpenter Center and the Visual and Environmental Studies Department at Harvard. Scott MacDonald uses pragmatism's focus on empirical experience as a basis for measuring the groundbreaking achievements of such influential filmmakers as John Marshall, Robert Gardner, Timothy Asch, Ed Pincus, Miriam Weinstein, Alfred Guzzetti, Ross McElwee, Robb Moss, Nina Davenport, Steve Ascher and Jeanne Jordan, Michel Negroponte, John Gianvito, Alexander Olch, Amie Siegel, Ilisa Barbash, and Lucien Castaing-Taylor. By exploring the cinematic, personal, and professional relationships between these accomplished filmmakers, MacDonald shows how a pioneering, engaged, and uniquely cosmopolitan approach to documentary developed over the past half century.

Summary: In American Television during a Television Presidency, Karen McNally and contributors critically examine the various ways in which television became transfixed by the Trump presidency and the broader political, social, and cultural climate. This book is the first to fully address the relationship between TV and a presidency consistently conducted with television in mind. The sixteen chapters cover everything from the political theater of televised impeachment hearings to the potent narratives of fictional drama and the stinging critiques of comedy, as they consider the wide-ranging ways in which television engages with the shifting political culture that emerged during this period. Approaching television both historically and in the contemporary moment, the contributors - an international group of scholars from a variety of academic disciplines- illuminate the indelible links that exist between television, American politics, and the nation’s broader culture. As it interrogates a presidency played out through the lens of the TV camera and reviews a medium immersing itself in a compelling and inescapable subject, American Television during a Television Presidency sets out to explore what defines the television of the Trump era as a distinctive time in TV history. From inequalities to resistance, and from fandom to historical memory, this book opens up new territory in which to critically analyze television’s complex relationship with Donald Trump, his presidency, and the political culture of this unsettled and simultaneously groundbreaking era. Undergraduate and graduate students and scholars of film and television studies, comedy studies, and cultural studies will value this strong collection. -- publisher's web site

Summary: " An Army of Phantoms- a major new work of film history and cultural criticism from J. Hoberman, one of the foremost film critics writing today addresses the dynamic synergy of American politics and American popular culture during the Cold War's first decade. Heralded by a mushroom cloud over Hiroshima, the years between 1946 and 1956 brought an explosion of affluence and anxiety. Along with U.S. dominance over Europe and a new war in Asia came the birth of the civil rights movement and the first stirrings of a new youth culture. The period saw the movie industry purged of its political left at the same time as the ideological action hero John Wayne reached the peak of his career. Analyzing Hollywood's cavalry Westerns, apocalyptic sci-fi flicks, and biblical spectaculars, along with media events, congressional hearings and political campaigns, and drawing on FBI files and studio records, Hoberman has orchestrated a colorful, sometimes surreal pageant wherein Cecil B. DeMille rubs shoulders with Douglas MacArthur, atomic tests are shown on live TV, God talks on the radio, and Joe McCarthy is bracketed with Marilyn Monroe. Essential reading for film and history buffs, An Army of Phantoms expands on the analysis of the 1960's found in Hoberman's critically acclaimed The Dream Life and offers a lively and astute history of film that is also, to paraphrase Jean-Luc Godard, about the film of history." --Book Jacket.

Summary: Although the transformation of the movies into big-time entertainment had multiple sources, Kathryn Fuller argues that ultimately the maturation of the film industry depended on the support of both urban and rural middle-class audiences. Providing the fullest portrait to date of the small-town audience’s hanging habits and desires, At the Picture Show demonstrates for the first time how a fan culture emerged in the United States, and it enriches our understanding of mass media’s relationship to early twentieth-century American society.

Summary: Discover the fascinating and secretive process of audience testing of Hollywood movies through these firsthand stories from famous filmmakers, studio heads, and stars. Audience-ology takes you to one of the most unknown places in Hollywood—a place where famous directors are reduced to tears and multi-millionaire actors to fits of rage. A place where dreams are made and fortunes are lost. From “the best in the business” (Sacha Baron Cohen), this book is the chronicle of how real people have written and rewritten America’s cinematic masterpieces by showing up, watching a rough cut of a new film, and giving their unfettered opinions so that directors and studios can salvage their blunders, or better yet, turn their movies into all-time classics. Each chapter informs an aspect or two of the test-screening process and then, through behind-the-scenes stories, illustrates how that particular aspect was carried out. Nicknamed “the doctor of audience-ology,” Kevin Goetz shares how he helped filmmakers and movie execs confront the misses and how he recommended ways to fix the blockbusters, as well as first-hand accounts from Ron Howard, Cameron Crowe, Ed Zwick, Renny Harlin, Jason Blum, and other Hollywood luminaries who brought you such films as La La Land, Chicago, Titanic, Wedding Crashers, Jaws, and Forrest Gump. Audience-ology explores one of the most important (and most underrated) steps in the filmmaking process with enough humor, drama, and surprise to entertain those with only a spectator’s interest in film, offering us a new look at movie history. -- publisher's web site

Summary: " The Bad and the Beautiful is a vivid portait of power, fame and sex in 1950s Hollywood, from the rise of tabloid journalism to the making of legendary film icons. In these tantalising stories of momentous events and legendary characters, Sam Kashner and Jennifer MacNair brilliantly recreate the drama and contradictions of Hollywood's most scandalous and dynamic decade. Colourful and humorous anecdotes of such public icons as Lara Turner, Rock Hudson and Kim Novak profile the celebrities' lives away from the camera, telling of the private moments that were exploited by tabloids such as Confidential and gossip queens Louella Parsons, Heda Hopper and Shellah Graham. Chronicling the unique obsessions of the era, the authors also offer behind-the-scenes commentary on the making of classic films: Hollywood's curious religious revival with The Robe, the film industry's exploitation of the potboiler Peyton Place, even as it rejected the housewife who penned it; and the anarchic director Nick Ray, who, on the set of the enduring classic Rebel without a cause, taught his teenage stars about much more than acting. Guided by the author's historical savvy and intimate storytelling, we discover a city at a crossroads, attempting to reinvent the magic and mystery of its past glories. Tragic, irreverant and always entertaining, the bad and the beautiful reveals the underground history of this turbulent decade in American film." -- BOOK JACKET

Summary: "The turn of the century ushered in a new age, and movie screens nationwide reflected a new vision of female sexual morality. Bad Women takes us back to this period of social, cultural, and economic change to illustrate how American cinema presented images of this new woman to fit an emerging consumer culture of the early 1900s. Although originally designed to reinforce the mores of contemporary society, these new images of "bad women" moved discussions off women and their sexuality to the forefront of the national agenda. Charting the resulting cultural tensions through the monitoring of movies, Janet Staiger shows how representations and their endless permutations stirred conflict and debate over women's public and private behaviours. Rich in historical detail and theoretical insight, Bad Women offers an original view of a culture in transition, a sexual sensibility in the making, and American cinema's role in the change" -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "As living subjects rather than static icons, studio-era Hollywood actresses actively negotiated a balance between their public personas, film roles, and corporeal presence. The contemporary audience's engagement with the experience of these actresses unsettles the traditional model of narcissistic identification, which divides the off-screen spectator from his/her onscreen ideal. Exploring the fan's desire for a material connection to the performer - as well as the star's own dialogue between embodied experience and idealized image - this book traces on- and off-screen representations of narcissistic femininity in classical Hollywood through studies of stars like Greta Garbo, Ava Gardner, and Marilyn Monroe. Merging historical and theoretical concerns, with particular attention to the resonance of golden-age Hollywood in new media, this book explores the movie screen as a medium of shared experience between spectator and star." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "The birth of the movies is a fresh and unusual exploration into the early days of world cinema by a professional historian. It opens up a whole new range of insights by considering the silent film in its general social context rather than as an isolated art form in its own right. The book sets out the stages by which the cinema developed from its origins as a music hall novelty at the turn of the century into an individual means of entertainment and thence- at the end of the 1920s- into big business. This transition was reflected in the replacement of converted back rooms by cheap nickelodeans and then by giant picture palaces, when customers were called patrons and full symphony orchestras played in the pit. The California movie rush of the 1920s is compared to the gold rush of 1849; the dominant Hollywood star system and values are discussed from a social and economic viewpoint - trade is shown to follow the movie; early attempts at censorship are described, and the crude propoganda of the patriotic war films of the Firts World War is set alongside the more sophisticated political methods of Eisenstein (who believed that the film was 'as terrible a weapon as the hand grenade') and of the agit-trains that rolled across post-rolled Russia. Nor are the personalities (Mary Pickford, Chaplin, Keaton, D.W Griffith, etc.) or the aesthetics of the early cinema ignored. The book ends with the coming of the talkies, which were to revolutionize the film industry. Chaplin feared that talking would destroy the illusion of cinema; certainly it put an end to the eolquent silence of a very special and well-developed art." -- BOOK JACKET
