"In this text/workbook, intended to provide supplementary information about societal issues of that time, many of the era's notable movies are highlighted. The first year addressed is 1927 so as to provide a foundation on which to compare and contrast the relatively good times prior to the 'Crash' of 1929 and the extraordinarily hard times following that disastrous year. An ideal guide to the period, this volume outlines specific topics for the years 1927 through 1939 ... The appendix includes detachable analysis forms for students to complete about the films they have seen in or out of class. One form is a guide to conducting an interview with a person who outlived this period. While intended as an academic textbook, this volume also makes compelling reading for anyone interested in the films produced during the cataclysmic years of the 1930s."--Publisher's Web site.
