The role of motion pictures in the popularity of rock music became
increasingly significant in the latter twentieth century. Rock
music and its interaction with film is the subject of this
significant book that re-examines and extends Serge Denisoff's
pioneering observations of this relationship. Prior to Saturday
Night Fever rock music had a limited role in the motion picture
business. That movie's success, and the success of its soundtrack,
began to change the silver screen. In 1983, with Flashdance, the
situation drastically evolved and by 1984, ten soundtracks, many in
the pop/rock genre, were certified platinum. Choosing which rock
scores to discuss in this book was a challenging task. The authors
made selections from seminal films such as The Graduate, Easy
Rider, American Graffiti, Saturday Night Fever, Help!, and Dirty
Dancing. However, many productions of the period are significant
not because of their success, but because of their box office and
record store failures. Risky Business chronicles the interaction of
two major mediums of mass culture in the latter twentieth century.
This book is essential for those interested in communications,
popular culture, and social change.
