HISTORY OF AMERICAN CINEMA V6

Volume 7, written by Peter Lev of Towson University, covers the tumultuous period of the 1950s. The volume explores the divorce of movie studios from their theatre chains; the panic of the blacklist era; the explosive emergence of science fiction as the dominant genre (The Thing, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, War Of The Worlds, etc.); the rise of television and Hollywood's response in widescreen spectacles (The Robe, The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, etc.) and mature Westerns ( High Noon, Shane, The Searchers , etc.); and more.

...a very valuable source on this key decade of film history. --ARBA (2004)

This series should become a standard reference source in every U.S. Library -- CHOICE

The amount of fascinating information that has not been seen before is generous...What a story! And what a story to come...I can't wait for the sequels. -- The New York Times Book Review (Volumes 1,2 and 3)

Undoubtedly and deservedly, the Scribner's volumes will become the standard reference works for the history of American film.  --Film Quarterly (Volumes 1-3)
