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.

HISTORY OF AMERICAN CINEMA V7

Amid the turbulence of political assassinations, the civil rights struggle, and antiwar protests, American society was experiencing growing affluence and profound cultural change during the 1960s. The film industry gradually redirected its energies, resulting in a distinctive break from traditional business and stylistic practice and emergence of a new "cinema of sensation." Feature films became faster-paced and more graphic, the antihero took his place alongside the classic Hollywood hero, and "downer" films like Midnight Cowboy proved as popular as those with upbeat fare. Paul Monaco gives a sweeping view of this exhilarating decade, ranging from the visceral sensation of Bonnie And Clyde, to the comic-book satire of Dr. Strangelove, to the youthful alienation of The Graduate.

Unlike many books about the movies, this is a serious piece of scholarship that will appeal to both academic and general readers.  Well researched, clearly written, and logically organized, The Sixties should stand as a standard survey of its topic for many years to come.   -- ARBA (2002)

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