Along the Great Divide

- High Art, Mass Art and Classic Hollywood Narrative

Bag om Along the Great Divide

From roughly 1930 to 1960 American culture became preoccupied with questions of artistic taste, usually in terms of brow level (high-, middle-, low-). This found its way into countless Hollywood movies of the time, often as the source of dramatic conflict between the main characters. The book traces this theme through a detailed examination of several films of the time (e.g. 100 MEN AND A GIRL, RHAPSODY IN BLUE and THE BENNY GOODMAN STORY) and how its twists and turns are shaped by the protocols of classic Hollywood storytelling.
