Yet the decade spawned many of the greatest films ever made, saw the advent of the spy thriller, the revival of science fiction and horror, and represented the Golden Era of the 70mm roadshow. Blockbusters like \u003ci\u003eLawrence of Arabia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Sound of Music\u003c\/i\u003e shared marquees with low-budget hits such as \u003ci\u003eLilies of the Field\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEasy Rider\u003c\/i\u003e. New stars emerged--Steve McQueen, Sidney Poitier, Barbra Streisand, Sean Connery, Faye Dunaway, Clint Eastwood and Dustin Hoffman. Veteran directors like Billy Wilder and William Wyler were joined by the post-war generation of Robert Aldrich and Stanley Kramer, and the new wave of Stanley Kubrick and John Schlesinger. This book explores a period when filmmakers embraced revolutionary attitudes to sexuality, violence and racism, and produced a bewildering list of critically acclaimed classics that remain audience favorites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Hannan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476687234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476687230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 6.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2023","brand":"Brian Hannan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059220476159,"sku":"9781476687230","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8efaf591-5cea-4255-974b-0ba1634231d6.jpg?v=1685056924","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-magnificent-60s-brian-hannan-9781476687230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
