See all formats and editions
From 1937 through 1945, Hollywood produced over 1,000 films relating to the war. This enormous and exhaustive reference work first analyzes the war films as sociopolitical documents. Part one, entitled "The Crisis Abroad, 1937-1941," focuses on movies that reflected America's increasing uneasiness. Part two, "Waging War, 1942-1945," reveals that many movies made from 1942 through 1945 included at least some allusion to World War II.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Shull and Wilt (Doing Their Bit : Wartime American Animated Short Films, 1939-1945, McFarland, 1987) have produced a work that greatly furthers our understanding of wartime society in America, offering insight into how Hollywood films of that era both reflected and affected cultural norms. While the study provides a comprehensive, chronological filmography with release dates, performers, plot descriptions, and even dialog quotes, the greater value is in the analysis of these films as sociopolitical documents. The authors have evaluated World War II-related releases from many angles, including discernible bias; the depiction of soldiers, spies, allies, and enemies; and the portrayal of home-front activities. Where films were not available for screening, the authors used scripts or reviews. This entry joins numerous popular titles on war films but serves as the definitive work, satisfying scholars and interested lay readers. Recommended for academic, large public, and special military collections.?Kelli N. Perkins, Herrick P.L., Holland, Mich.

Un remarquable ouvrage qui recense TOUS les films produits par Hollywood entre 1937 et 1945 et ayant trait à la guerre et ses prémices. Chaque film est accompagné d'un résumé et de la distribution.
Cerise sur le gâteau, les auteurs insèrent cette mine dans une réflexion historico-politique sur Hollywood comme arme de progande active contre le nazisme et dès avant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Une mine !
