Art.’ The following decade has long been celebrated as a golden age in American film history. In this innovative study, Peter Krämer offers a systematic discussion of the biggest hits of the period (including
The Graduate [1967],
The Exorcist [1973] and
Jaws [1975]). He relates the distinctive features of these hits to changes in the film industry, in its audiences and in American society at large.
