| Sumario: | Kramer learned filmmaking within the old studio system, but over a career spanning forty years he did much to shape the independent moviemaking that emerged after World War II. Jennifer Frost pays particular attention to four of his key "message movies"<U+007b><U+0075>"<U+0030><U+0031><U+0034><U+007d>The Defiant Ones, On the Beach, Inherit the Wind, and Judgment at Nuremberg--to show how Kramer's controversial films opened up public debate about the most important issues of his time--among average filmgoers as well as professional critics, political commentators, and public figures. In this context, she for the first time fully documents the Hollywood Right's attacks on Kramer in the 1950s; details his resistance to the anticommunist Red Scare and the Hollywood blacklist; exposes his role as a cultural diplomat with the Soviet Union; and reveals his important contribution to the liberal and radical politics of the 1960s. Her book is at once an absorbing work of cultural history and a thoroughgoing reassessment of Stanley Kramer's place in the pantheon of American filmmakers. |
