Description
Pictures at a Revolution is a fascinating account of five pivotal films that marked a turning point in Hollywood history. In the mid-1960s, the film industry was dominated by traditional genres, but a cultural shift was underway. By 1968, the landscape of filmmaking had been forever altered, and the careers of those involved were changed forever.
The story of these five films - Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, In the Heat of the Night, and Doctor Doolittle - is one of revolution and upheaval. As the industry struggled to adapt to new tastes and trends, studios grew and crumbled, and the very fabric of filmmaking was reshaped.
This book provides a detailed and insightful look at this pivotal moment in Hollywood history, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of film and the cultural context in which it was made.
