Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke. The cinema of the 1950s reflected the mood swings of the post-war generation. Optimistic epics and brittle social comedies rubbed shoulders with socially aware dramas and, faced with the new challenge of television, the studios conjured up a host of fresh attractions: CinemaScope, Vista-Vision and 3D, the curves of Marilyn Monroe and the moody mumbles of Marlon Brando and James Dean. In Hollywood, veteran actors circled the wagons against the massed assault of juvenile delinquents as the Wild West became the Asphalt Jungle. In Britain, upper lips remained stiff - though a smile or two was permitted at the latest Ealing Comedy. Films from Italy and France, where the 'New Wave' was starting to break, were still considered strictly high culture, if not threateningly risque, in the Anglophone nations. The images in this book represent the full range of poster art which attracted world wide cinema audiences to the movies of the decade. Some may be familiar, others, long forgotten, will come as surprises. Most are still as fresh and powerful as the day they first appeared. Seller Inventory # e15dcfa5-d5c6-4202-a85e-9308a780ee7b

Orig.-Broschur; Condition: Sehr gut. 127 S. durchgehend farbige Abbildungen; 30 cm, Tadelloser Zustand, frisches Exemplar. // Die besten, die heißesten und die coolsten Filmplakate der 50er Jahre - Die großartigen Filmplakate in diesem Buch lassen uns heute erahnen welchen Verlockungen die Kinobesucher von damals erlegen sind. Das Fernsehen entwickelte sich zu einer ernst zunehmenden Konkurrenz und die Studios konterten mit immer neuen, immer aufregenderen und verlockenderen Sensationen, darunter Cinemascope, Vista-Vision und 3D, die heißen Kurven von Marilyn Monroe in Das verflixte siebente Jahr und Manche mögen`s heiß oder ein rebellischer James Dean. Ein eleganter Cary Grant flirtet mit Grace Kelly in Über den Dächern von Nizza und in Europa geben Filme wie La Strada und Orfeu Negro den Ton an. Aber die 50er Jahre waren auch die Ära des Science-Fiction Films: Die Invasion der Körperfresser. Dieser Band mit mehr als 250 farbigen Filmplakaten der 50er Jahre ist ein absolutes Muss für jeden Filmfan und jeden, der sich für Grafikdesign und Werbung interessiert. /lager 0185 ISBN: 9783822845219 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1100.
