Prof. Peter Stanfield’s new book ‘Pop Fifties Cinema: The Cool and the Crazy’ has received a brilliant review from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Delivering sharp critical insights in jazzy, accessible prose, The Cool and the Crazy offers an appreciation of cinema as a ‘pop’ medium, unabashedly derivative, faddish, and ephemeral. By studying these long-burst bubbles of 1950s ‘pop,’ Stanfield reveals something new about what films do and the pleasures they provide.
