British Cinema and the Cold War

Angebote / Angebote:

Much has been written about cold war Hollywood and the Soviet Union's cinematic campaign against the West. This book fills a significant gap in the international story by uncovering British cinema's contribution to cold war propaganda and its attempt to create a consensus among British audiences on cold war issues. The book includes tales of conveniently forgotten films like "High Treason, " directed by Roy Boulting, which put a British McCarthyism on celluloid, "Little Red Monkey, " in which the Chinese communist threat first emerged, and the fascinatingly ambiguous "The Man Between, " Carol Reed's follow-up to "The Third Man, " set in a divided Berlin. It examines cold war issues, as refracted through British films and Hollywood movies released in Britain, and tells how the British public received this "war propaganda.
