"Casablanca" and the Afterlife of a Hollywood Classic
Description
This powerfully original work is perhaps the most complete documentation we have had to date of the persistently morphing moving-image commodity. Barbara Klinger uses the longevity and iterative nature of this beloved movie to show us how ideas about history, taste, value, gender, class, and race are unevenly shifted or reinforced. Immortal Films is essential reading for film, media, and popular culture scholars.--Charles R. Acland, author of American Blockbuster: Movies, Technology, and Wonder This book completely dislodges the synchronic approach that has long dogged studies of historical film reception, replacing it with a deft and supple account of how Casablanca was adapted, re-presented, and repackaged in various media forms.--Matthew Solomon, author of Disappearing Tricks: Silent Film, Houdini, and the New Magic of the Twentieth Century
