During the nearly sixty years of filmmaking, the always uneasy and
often fractious Soviet-American relationship has been mirrored in
Hollywood's portrayal of Russians and the Soviet Union. Friend or
Foe? examines the portrayal of the Soviet Union in American film,
and shows how these films reflect the attitudes of Americans, as
well as how each portrayal changed with the often uneasy relations
between the two countries. The authors show how films, as rich
repositories of national consciousness, can be analyzed to reveal
time-bound insights into popular fears and obsessions. History
lovers and film buffs will appreciate the tongue-in-cheek approach
to many of the absurdist films. Scholars in history, film studies,
and political science will find the depth and breadth of research
useful. A filmography, bibliography, and photographs further
complement the study.
