Produced in response to the hearings held by the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) that resulted in the Hollywood blacklist, these films' ideological message and rhetorical effectiveness was often muddled by the inherent difficulties in dramatizing villains defined by their thoughts and belief systems rather than their actions. Whereas anti-Communist propaganda films offered explicit political exhortation, allegory was the preferred vehicle for veiled or hidden political comment in many police procedurals, historical films, Westerns, and science fiction films. Jeff Smith examines the way that particular heuristics, such as the mental availability of exemplars and the effects of framing, have encouraged critics to match filmic elements to contemporaneous historical events, persons, and policies. In charting the development of these particular readings, Film Criticism, the Cold War, and the Blacklist features case studies of many canonical Cold War titles, including The Red Menace, On the Waterfront, The Robe, High Noon, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.Motion picturesPolitical aspectsUnited StatesMotion picturesUnited StatesHistory20th centuryCold War in motion picturesCommunism and motion picturesUnited StatesBlacklisting of entertainersUnited StatesHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Motion picturesPolitical aspectsMotion picturesHistoryCold War in motion pictures.Communism and motion picturesBlacklisting of entertainersHistory791.43/6582825Smith Jeff1962 December 17-1043513MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453357803321Film criticism, the Cold War, and the blacklist2468536UNINA02621nam0 22004931i 450 UON0023295620231205103511.3220030730d1980 |0itac50 bafreFR|||| |||||Oeuvres completesAlexis de Tocquevilleedition definitive sous la direction de J-P.
