5.0 out of 5 stars
Film libraries will consider it a 'must',
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gangster Film Reader (Softcover) (Paperback)
The rise of the popular gangster film genre began in the early 1930s to reflect the real history and rise of gangsterism in American society, producing early classics which would be released back to back, were modeled on newspaper and real-life situations, and which would bring gangsterism to the public eye by defining and surveying notorious personalities and groups. GANGSTER FILM READER reviews the genre through reprints of key articles, new essays and critical analysis produced for this collection, and over 200 original photos. Film libraries will consider it a 'must', while many a college-level library on social issues will also find the topic relevant to 20th century American history discussions.Diane C.
