Más información sobre el libro

On December 8, 1967 "Time" magazine put "Bonnie and Clyde" on its cover and announced, "The New Cinema: Violence ... Sex ... Art." The following decade has long been celebrated as a golden age in American film history. In this innovative study, Peter Kr?mer offers a systematic discussion of the biggest hits of the period (including "The Graduate" [1967], "The Exorcist" [1973] and "Jaws" [1975]). He relates the distinctive features of these hits to changes in the film industry, in its audiences and in American society at large.
