New York: The New Press. Fine in Fine dj. (c.2002. First Edition. Hardcover. [very nice, as-new copy, with no discernible wear to either book or jacket; apparently a review copy, with the publisher's press release laid in]. (B&W photographs) In this, "the first comprehensive book about the Hollywood Left, [the authors] describe the vibrant community in Hollywood that helped create the classics of American film, from the dawn of sound movies to the early 1950s. The authors trace the political and personal lives of the screenwriters, actors, directors, and producers on the Left, along with the often decisive impact of their work upon American film's Golden Age. Full of rich anecdotes, biographical detail, and exploration of movies well-known, unjustly forgotten, and delightfully bizarre, this is a highly readable, affectionate history that invites a new appreciation of our most distinctly American cultural creations." **** NOTE that additional shipping charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book, or for Priority Mail service to U.S. addresses.
