Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 3rd printing. 490pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "An epic account of how the revolution hit Hollywood, told through the stories of the five films nominated for the 1967 Academy Awards. [] The year is 1963. The studios are churning out westerns, war movies, prudish sex comedies, and overblown historical epics, but audiences whose interests have been piqued by an influx of innovative films from abroad are hungering for something more, something new. At Esquire, two young writers hatch a plan to create a movie treatment that they hope will attract the director Francois Truffaut: the story of the gangsters Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Mike Nichols, an improvisatory comedian turned theater director, gets his hands on an obscure first novel called The Graduate and wonders if he's ready to make the jump to Hollywood. Warren Beatty, only twenty-six years old and struggling through a series of flops after the success of Splendor in the Grass, decides to take his career into his own hands, but can't seem to settle on his next move. Dustin Hoffman, sleeping on friends' floors and scrounging for temp work in New York, struggles just to get an off-Broadway audition. Sidney Poitier, after two dozen movies, still yearns for something that seems completely unattainable: a good role. And 20th Century-Fox, on the brink of financial catastrophe, puts all its hopes in a genre--the family musical--that will revitalize the company, and then nearly destroy it again. [] PICTURES AT A REVOLUTION tracks five movies--the milestones Bonnie and Clyde and The Graduate, the popular hits Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and In the Heat of the Night, and the big-budget disaster Doctor Doolittle--on their five-year journey to Oscar night in the spring of 1968. It follows their fortunes through the last days of the studio system and the first sparks of a cultural upheaval that would launch maverick new stars and directors, topple more than one industry titan from his pedestal, and redefine what American movies could be." [jacket copy] "A madly ambitious marriage of revelatory cultural history and great storytelling. PICTURES AT A REVOLUTION is every bit as smart and radical and sexy as the movies it brings to life."--David Hajdu. "Mark Harris, a former editor for Entertainment Weekly, combines his remarkable knowledge of film history with interviews and research that capture the Zeitgeist of the late 1960s, particularly the cloistered, changing world of Hollywood. The films that challenged the industry's expectations were, Harris writes, 'game changers, movies that had originated far from Hollywood and had grown into critics' darlings and major popular phenomena.'. . Drawing on his deep knowledge and a sly sense of humor (and irony) about Hollywood's quirkier side (witness an account of Jane Fonda's Fourth of July party in 1965), he crafts what Charles Matthews deems 'likely to be one of the classics of popular film history.'"--Bookmarks. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright & intact jacket. Artikel-Nr. RUB2792
