false <![CDATA[Radical Hollywood: The Untold Story Behind America's Favorite Movies]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188361709m/1788581.jpg 1788581 2 A revealing and affectionate account of the personal and political lives of the left-wing screenwriters, directors, and actors behind Hollywood's Golden Age. The first comprehensive book about Hollywood's future blacklistees and the hundreds of films they wrote or directed from the dawn of sound movies to the early 1950s, Radical Hollywood traces the political and personal lives of the activists along with the often-decisive impact of their work upon American film's Golden Age. A highly readable, anecdotal history, featuring an insert of classic film stills, , Radical Hollywood describes the story-behind-the-story of such famous films as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Casablanca, and Woman of the Year, alongside such campy items as The Adventures of Captain Marvel, Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror, and Kiss the Blood off My Hands. Genres like crime and women's films, family cinema, war, animation and, above all, film noir are reconsidered here, with fresh evidence drawn from interviews and recent archival breakthroughs. A long-awaited rediscovery of an overlooked intellectual-artistic milieu, , Radical Hollywood will interest all film-lovers and devotees of political culture. 16 pages b/w photographs. Films discussed include: The Adventures of Captain Marvel The Big Clock Body and Soul Back Door to Heaven Blues in the Night Cabin in the Sky Caged Casablanca Champion Deadline at Dawn Destry Rides Again The Devil-Doll Diplomaniacs Dynamite Frankenstein G.
