Veronica Pravadelli complicates this idea. Focusing on dominant tendencies in box office hits and Oscar-recognized classics, she breaks down the so-called classic period into six distinct phases that follow Hollywood's amazingly diverse offerings from the emancipated females of the 'Transition Era' and the traditional men and women of the conservative 1930's that replaced it to the fantastical Fifties movie musicals that arose after anti-classic genres like film noir and women's films. Pravadelli sets her analysis apart by paying particular attention to the gendered desires and identities exemplified in the films.Motion picturesUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMotion picturesProduction and directionUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMotion picturesCaliforniaLos AngelesHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Motion picturesHistoryMotion picturesProduction and directionHistoryMotion picturesHistory791.430973Pravadelli Veronica1964-1037459Meadows Michael TheodoreMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459879203321Classic Hollywood2458468UNINA
