Gordon Gow presents a vivid, decade-spanning survey of the films, stars, directors, and cultural forces that defined 1950s Hollywood, from the brooding intensity of James Dean to the glamour of Marilyn Monroe and the epic spectacles that filled the widescreens. Written with the sharp critical eye of a seasoned film historian, the work illustrates how the decade reshaped storytelling, genre, and the very idea of stardom in American popular culture. Packed with striking photography and incisive commentary, it remains an essential reference for cinephiles and cultural historians alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888008343771,"sku":"2026200009421-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4afd2a67-f4db-4ff5-911a-c2281f7c9b55.png?v=1781752426","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009421-secondhand-hollywood-in-the-fifties","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
