Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An account of Hollywood in the 1950s - arguably America's most flamboyant, prosperous, yet paranoid decade. Its typical publication was "Confidential" magazine, "the most scandalous scandal magazine in the history of the world" whose lens on Hollywood was the window to America's collective fears and fantasies: race, communism, sex, homosexuality, criminality and mistrust of most basic institutions. Hollywood in the 1950s was a bizarre juxtaposition of high and low culture, a place where the sublime paid tribute to the ridiculous. Yet for all their seeming banality, mainstream Hollywood films also dealt with challenging issues such as race ("The Defiant Ones", "Imitation of Life", "Baby Doll"), sex ("Some Like It Hot", "Rebel Without a Cause"), anti-Semitism ("Crossfire"), drug abuse ("The Man With the Golden Arm"), mental illness ("Cobweb", "Lust for Life"), and the possibility of nuclear annihilation ("On the Beach", "Kiss Me Deadly"). This book explores the decade that helped shape the Hollywood of today. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Zustand: Fair. : Una crónica deslumbrante del Hollywood de los años 50, una década marcada por la prosperidad, la extravagancia y la paranoia. A través de una investigación detallada y testimonios de primera mano, Sam Kashner y Jennifer MacNair exploran el auge de la prensa sensacionalista, representada por la revista 'Confidential', y cómo esta influyó en la percepción pública de iconos como Lana Turner, Rock Hudson y Mae West.El libro analiza la curiosa yuxtaposición entre la alta y baja cultura de la época, abordando temas complejos como el racismo, el comunismo, la sexualidad y el miedo a la aniquilación nuclear reflejados en el cine de la época. Es un retrato vívido de una industria en una encrucijada, intentando reinventar su magia mientras lidiaba con escándalos privados y tensiones sociales que ayudaron a dar forma al Hollywood actual.
