Paperback. Etat : Fine. xvii, 282 pages, [24] pages of plates, illustrations; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. *** "With the likes of Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, and Frank Tashlin revelling in "monkeys, babies, beautiful blondes, money, and cruelty" in their signature films of the 1950s, this seemingly conformist period turns out to be one of the most dynamic and original eras in Hollywood history. What distinguishes these directors is their candid and amusing exploration of cultural anxieties in carnival form. Quirky yet complex films such as Monkey Business, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Sunset Boulevard, The Trouble with Harry, and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? released and expressed the sexual repression and frustration we commonly associate with the decade" - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction: Hearing the laughter; Howard Hawks and the comedy of frustration; Billy Wilder and the American dream; Unrest in peace: Hitchcock's fifties humor; Living Looney Tunes: The art of Frank Tashlin; Epilogue: The big carnival.
