But while many films of the period conform to this stereotype, there were a significant number that promoted a message, either explicitly or implicitly, in support of the political, social and economic change broadly associated with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programme. At the same time, Hollywood was in the forefront of challenging traditional gender roles, both in terms of movie representations of women and the role of women within the studio system. With case studies of actors like Shirley Temple, Cary Grant and Fred Astaire, as well as a selection of films that reflect politics and society in the Depression decade, this fascinating book examines how the challenges of the Great Depression impacted on Hollywood and how it responded to them. 505 00 $g 13 : $t John Ford's Young Mr Lincoln : a popular front hero for the late 1930s / $r Iwan Morgan. $g 2 : $t Columbia Pictures and the Great Depression : a case study of political writers in Hollywood / $r Ian Scott -- $g 3 : $t Organization women and belle rebels : Hollywood's working women in the 1930s / $r J.E.
