Examines how Cold War films depicted pertinent issues of American
social class and genderFrom the mid-1940s to the late 1980s
American film studios enjoyed commercial success in a range of
often overlooked genres, employing a new realism to depict social
class structures, capitalist desires and the expansion of the
marketplace, and to turn American cultural values comically and
subversively against themselves. With case studies of the Cold War
comedy, the 'rogue cop' film, the brainwashing thriller and the
urban romances that defined the 'new woman', 'Cold War Film Genres'
explores these myriad productions, redefining American cinematic
history with a more inclusive view of the types of films that
post-war audiences actually enjoyed, and that the studios provided
for them.Key FeaturesProvides studies of emerging film genres and
cycles in the Cold War periodExamines how new genres recast gender
and class conditions in terms of defining urban and suburban
AmericaReveals new directions and successful strategies in Cold War
studio production Charts new developments in film narratives that
