This book uses the long and profitable career of Cecil B. DeMille to track the evolution of Classical Hollywood and its influence on emerging mass commercial culture in the US. DeMille’s success rested on how well his films presumed a broad consensus in the American public—expressed through consumer hedonism, faith, and an “exceptional” national history—which merged seamlessly with the efficient production methods developed by the largest integrated studios. DeMille’s sudden mid-career shift away from spectator perversity to corporate propagandist permanently tarnished the director’s historical standing among scholars, yet should not overshadow the profound links between his success and the rise and fall of mid-century mass culture. Hard cover.

Based on extensive archival records, this book uses the life, career, and films of Cecil B. DeMille as the longitudinal context through which to examine the profound changes in modern American mass culture from 1910 to 1960. DeMille’s professional longevity, his many struggles within the industry, his films’ themes and cinematic performance, his many critics’ and censors’ scrutiny of their contribution to the popular arts, and contemporary reflections on his legacy all provide significant narrative threads to this story; the “mighty hands” that constructed his career. The tale is complex, chronologically expansive, and taps numerous historiographical debates that lay at the heart of the country’s cultural, social, political, and economic modernization. , Hardcover, Ausgabe: 1st ed. 2018, Label: Palgrave Macmillan, Palgrave Macmillan, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2018-07-28, Studio: Palgrave Macmillan.
