Decoding the Movies - Prof. Richard (Matthew Flinders Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Screen Studies Maltby - Bog

This book "decodes" 1930s Hollywood movies and explains why they looked and behaved as they did. Representing the summation of Richard Maltby's four decades of scholarship in the field, it uses a series of case studies to demonstrate how an appreciation of these movies is enhanced by examining the circumstances of their production and consumption.
