520 |a The 1940s was a watershed decade for American cinema and the nation. Shaking off the grim legacy of the Depression, Hollywood launched an unprecedented wave of production, generation of of its most memorable classics, including "Citizen Kane", "Rebecca", "The Lady Eve", "Sergeant York", and "How Green Was My Valley". in 1942, Hollywood joined the national war effort with a vengeance, creating a series of patriotic and escapist films, such as "Casablanca", "Mrs. Miniver", "The Road to Morocco", and "Yankee Doodle Dandy". With the end of the war, returning GIs faced a new America, in which the country had been transformed overnight. Film noir reflected a new public mood of pessimism and paranoia, in such classic films of betrayal and conflict as "Kiss of Death", "Force of Evil", "Caught", and "Apology for Murder". With the threat of the atom bomb lurking in the background and the beginnings of the Hollywood Blacklist, the 1940s was a decade of crisis and change. "American Cinema of the 1940s" brings this dynamic and turbulent decade to life. -- From publisher's description.
