{"product_id":"hollywood-abroad-melvyn-stokes-9781844570188","title":"Hollywood Abroad: Audiences and Cultural Exchange","description":"Hollywood Abroad is the first book to examine the reception of Hollywood movies by non-American audiences. Although numerous books on film history have analyzed the ways in which American films came to dominate world markets, there has so far been very little published work on how audiences outside the United States have responded to Hollywood-produced films. Hollywood Abroad explores the reception of U.S. films in Britain, France, Belgium, Turkey, Australia, India, Japan, and Central Africa. The book covers topics from the first major penetration of American films into France, Britain, and Australia to the impact of such films as The Best Years of Our Lives to the response of Belgian young people in the age of the multiplex. It demonstrates that the story of the reception of American films overseas is less one of domination than of a complex adoption of Hollywood into various cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melvyn Stokes,Richard Maltby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844570185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844570188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.62h x 6.54w x 0.50d","brand":"Melvyn Stokes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425402044671,"sku":"9781844570188","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f660fa03-4496-4e5b-a820-0e954ca23ac0.jpg?v=1761538972","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hollywood-abroad-melvyn-stokes-9781844570188","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
