But in the 50 years since, its reputation has grown from cult status to become an acknowledged classic of American cinema. In the first comprehensive critical study of the film, Barry Keith Grant traces the film's historical context, it appeared in an America gripped by Cold War paranoia and atomic anxieties, and its production history, and goes on to explore the importance of genre, Communism, conformity, modernity, post-War society, and gender for an understanding of the film's cultural contexts and metaphorical weight."--Provided by publisher.BFI film classics.791.43/72Grant Barry Keith1947-846037British Film Institute.UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910817645703321Invasion of the body snatchers3970734UNINA
