What Dreams Were Made Of: Movie Stars of the 1940s - Star Decades: American Culture / American Cinema
Sean Griffin
Examines the performers who helped define American cinema in the 1940s, a decade of rapid and repeated upheaval for Hollywood and the US. Through discussions of key films as well as studio publicity and fan magazines, these essays analyze how these actors and actresses helped lift spirits during World War II, and explore how cultural shifts after the war forced many stars to adjust to new outlooks and attitudes, particularly in film noir.
