It focuses mainly on her contributions to 1970s Hollywood, but also considers her later work. Considering films such as The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon, The Bad News Bears, and The Witches of Eastwick, it argues that Platts construction of their visual palette and mise-en-scene was so creative and so comprehensive that it can be considered authorial. Chapters discuss Platts life and its influence on her work, her attention to detail, her role in location decisions and costume design, and her use of colour. An epilogue discusses her later career as a producer and her mentorship to young filmmakers like Cameron Crowe and Wes Anderson. This is the first full-length examination of the career of one of the women practitioners whose work was so important to 1970s cinema, and provides an alternative methodology to the auteur-driven framing that so regularly defines the era. Aaron Hunter lectures in the department of film at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. His monograph Authoring Hal Ashby: The Myth of the New Hollywood Auteur (2016) constructs an alternative, multiple-authorship framework for understanding New Hollywood, an approach he continues in this work on Polly Platt. His collection Women and New Hollywood, co-edited with Martha Shearer, will be published in 2022." -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes biographical references and index. 600 10 $a Platt, Polly. 600 17 $a Platt, Polly. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01507659 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Motion picture art directors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Motion picture audiences $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Motion picture audiences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027116 651 0 $a Hollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.) $x History $y 20th century. 651 7 $a California $z Hollywood. $z Hollywood. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01312041 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030821203 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9E78D7A1DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
