With transformations in production codes, adjustments in national narratives, a rise in independent filmmaking, and a new generation of directors and producers addressing controversial issues on the mainstream screen, film was a major influence on the social changes that defined these years. After a contextual history of film during this era, several key films are discussed, including \u003ci\u003eThe Graduate, Alice's Restaurant, Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy, M*A*S*H, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Little Big Man\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Godfather\u003c\/i\u003e series. The author describes how these films represented a generation, constructed and deconstructed American culture, and made important contributions during ten years of great change in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611412218007,"sku":"9780786433414","price":3732.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786433414.webp?v=1775070860","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/camera-and-action-american-film-as-agent-of-social-change-1965-1975-9780786433414","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
