Despite the popularity of his films, there has been little serious examination of Daves's work. Filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier has called Daves the most forgotten of American directors, and to date no scholarly monograph has focused on his work. In The Films of Delmer Daves: Visions of Progress in Mid-Twentieth-Century America, author Douglas Horlock contends that the director's work warrants sustained scholarly attention. Examining all of Daves's films, as well as his screenplays, scripts that were not filmed, and personal papers, Horlock argues that Daves was a serious, distinctive, and enlightened filmmaker whose work confronts the general conservatism of Hollywood in the mid-twentieth century. Horlock considers Daves's films through the lenses of political and social values, race and civil rights, and gender and sexuality. Ultimately, Horlock suggests that Daves's work-through its examination of bigotry and irrational fear and depiction of institutional and personal morality and freedom-presents a consistent, innovative, and progressive vision of America"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 210-225), filmography (pages 207-209), and index. 505 00 $g Index. . $g Chapter one: $t Gender in the films of Delmer Daves -- $g Chapter two: $t Political and social values in the films of Delmer Daves -- $g Chapter three: $t Race and civil rights in the films of Delmer Daves -- $t Gender in the films of Delmer Daves -- $g Conclusion -- $g Notes -- $g Filmography -- $g Bibliography -- $g Index. . 600 10 $a Daves, Delmer, $d 1904-1977 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Daves, Delmer, $d 1904-1977. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00249554 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Horlock, Douglas. $t Films of delmer daves $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2022 $z 9781496838872 $w (DLC) 2021053090 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3E0EBABC072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
