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."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aBFI film classics. 676 $a791.43/72 700 $aGrant$b Barry Keith$f1947-$0846037 712 02$aBritish Film Institute. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817645703321 996 $aInvasion of the body snatchers$93970734 997 $aUNINA
