Abstract 520    $a"American Cinema/American Culture looks at the interplay between American cinema and mass culture from the 1890s to 2011. It begins with an examination of the basic narrative and stylistic features of classical Hollywood cinema. It studies the genres of silent melodrama, the musical, American comedy, the war/combat film, film noir, the western, and the horror and science fiction film; investigating the ways in which movies shape and are shaped by the larger cultural concerns of the nation as a whole. The book concludes with a discussion of post-World War II Hollywood, and separate coverage of the effects of the Cold War, 3-D, television, the counterculture of the 1960s, directors from the film school generation, and the cultural concerns of Hollywood from the 1970s through 2011."--Back cover
