We will focus on the post-war era from 1945 through 1990. The film industry faced multiple challenges during this time which caused significant disruptions of their business model. We’ll use these films as a launchpad to learn about the art, the business, the culture, and the evolution of American cinema. A collection of outstanding films have been selected for this course.
