Lights, Camera, Execution! engages in detailed critical analysis of nine different films about capital punishment in the United States. It examines well-known movies from the last thirty years; explores the cinematic techniques used; and identifies common themes such as race and human dignity.
This book consists of short essays on approximately fifty American political films. It explores the extent to which films take on the political issues of the day and their influence on public perceptions of politics.
This book seeks to fill a major gap in the literature about fictional representations of presidents by studying more than 40 plays, written since 1900, which have had prominent productions on or off-Broadway or in another major city.
?This brief volume discusses the impact of private public opinion polling (as well as its absence) on the campaigns of Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, and Robert Kennedy in 1968, of George McGovern in 1972, and Jimmy Carter in 1976....A skillful journalistic account, although it is confined to only one of the major parties. The volume should be of interest to students of political parties, campaigning and elections, and to historians of this turbulent period of American politics. College and community college collections.?-Choice
