The film industry gradually redirected its energies, resulting in a distinctive break from traditional business and stylistic practice and emergence of a new \"cinema of sensation.\" Feature films became faster-paced and more graphic, the antihero took his place alongside the classic Hollywood hero, and \"downer\" films like \u003ci\u003eMidnight Cowboy \u003c\/i\u003eproved as popular as those with upbeat fare. Paul Monaco gives a sweeping view of this exhilarating decade, ranging from the visceral sensation of \u003ci\u003eBonnie and Clyde, \u003c\/i\u003eto the comic-book satire of \u003ci\u003eDr. Strangelove, \u003c\/i\u003eto the youthful alienation of \u003ci\u003eThe Graduate. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eI think this is a fine volume, one that maintains the high quality of other volumes in the series while making major contributions in its own right...a strong, well-argued and well-structured study.--Dana Polan, University of Southern California\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMonaco is especially good at explaining economic and technical trends during the decade.
