Cornell University Press, 2012. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Between 1942 and 1958, J. Edgar Hoover s Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted a sweeping and sustained investigation of the motion picture industry to expose Hollywood s alleged subversion of the American Way through its depiction of social problems, class differences, and alternative political ideologies. FBI informants (their names still redacted today) reported to Hoover s G-men on screenplays and screenings of such films as Frank Capra s It s a Wonderful Life (1946), noting that this picture deliberately maligned the upper class attempting to show that people who had money were mean and despicable characters. The FBI s anxiety over this film was not unique; it extended to a wide range of popular and critical successes, including The Grapes of Wrath (1940), The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), Crossfire (1947) and On the Waterfront (1954).

A tight and unmarked copy-Covers have light creasing-Spine is uncreased.-Category: Biography & Autobiography-There may be a corner of the world where the name J.R.R. Tolkien is unknown, but you would be hard-pressed to find it. Since their publication, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have been published in every major language of the world. And though he single-handedly gave a mythology to the English and was beloved by millions, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien remained refreshingly unchanged by his fame and fortune, living out his days simply and modestly among the familiar surroundings of Oxford College. Humphrey Carpenter, who was given unrestricted access to Tolkien's papers, brilliantly puts meat to the bones of the Tolkien legend in J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography, offering a well-rounded portrayal of this quiet, bookish man who always saw himself first and foremost as a philologist,… Read More

She had high cheekbones and a sensual mouth and wore a dress of white silk. Her eyes were blue, alight, and disdainful, but, as they gazed into his with a touch of humor, Bond realized that they contained a message.
