Seeing is Believing: How Hollywood Taught Us to Stop Worrying and Love New edition
Peter Biskind
Takes a look at the Hollywood fifties movies we all love - or love to hate - and the thousand subtle ways they reflect the political tensions of the decade. This work concentrates on the films everybody saw but nobody really looked at, and shows us how movies that appear politically innocent in fact bear an ideological burden.
