It provides vivid discussions of these romantic films, analyses their normative patterns and thematic concerns, traces how they were shaped by inequalities of gender and class in American society, and explains why they were especially popular from World War I through the roaring twenties and the Great Depression. In the vast majority of cross-class romance films the female is poor or from the working class, the male is wealthy or from the upper class, and the romance ends successfully in marriage or the promise of marriage. 606 $aLove in motion pictures 606 $aMarriage in motion pictures 606 $aSocial classes in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States 615 0$aLove in motion pictures. 615 0$aMarriage in motion pictures. 615 0$aSocial classes in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures 676 $a791.4301 700 $aSharot$b Stephen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0880897 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151666603321 996 $aLove and Marriage Across Social Classes in American Cinema$92544670 997 $aUNINA
