Description
Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? In this curious and entertaining book, readers will learn that both are true. Author Daniel Benjamin takes readers on a journey from the gritty realism of post-World War II cinema through the innovations of the 1960s to the blockbuster hits of the 1980s and the very mixed bag of the early twenty-first century. This record of the ever-changing world of American culture is highlighted with a fabulous variety of photographs from the last six decades.
