Reviews for Postwar Hollywood: 1946-1962
“Drew Casper’s volume is a stunning achievement in American film history. Combining love for the films themselves and the creative talent behind them with a sharp attention to contexts – cultural, social, and industrial – Casper offers a comprehensive, sharply argued look at Hollywood cinema in a complex, even vexed, historical moment.” Dana Polan, New York University
