Cinema '62

Cinema '62 offers a deep analysis of film history and challenges the common perception of the early 1960s. Instead of viewing this period as a phase of stagnation between the classic studio system and the rise of New Hollywood, the book argues that 1962 was an outstanding year for film. Author Michael McClellan, supported by Stephen Farber, highlights the high quality of films from that year and demonstrates that these standards have not been matched since. With a hardcover and 270 pages, the book provides a comprehensive look at the art, music, and design of this era, making it a valuable work for film historians and enthusiasts.
