Yet some brave filmmakers and actors still challenged the status quo to produce indelible and imaginative work that delivered uncomfortable truths to Cold War audiences. Triumph Over Containment offers an uncompromising look at some of the era's greatest films and directors, from household names like Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick to lesser-known iconoclasts like Samuel Fuller and Ida Lupino. Taking in everything from The Thing from Another World (1951) to Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), acclaimed film scholar Robert P. Kolker scours a variety of different genres to find pockets of resistance to the repressive and oppressive norms of Cold War culture. He devotes special attention to two quintessential 1950s genres-the melodrama and the science fiction film-that might seem like polar opposites, but each offered pointed responses to containment culture. This book takes a fresh look at such directors as Nicholas Ray, John Ford, and Orson Welles, while giving readers a new appreciation for the depth and artistry of 1950s Hollywood films"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Cold War in motion pictures. 651 0 $a United States $x In motion pictures. 650 7 $a Cold War (1945-1989) in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00866989 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024440.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4041720C072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
