The 60s

"The 1960s were as much a watershed in cinema as they were in the wider world, This was the decade during which censorship codes were demolished and the studio contract system fell apart. It was also a time when many filmmakers abandoned glossy studio product in favor of movies with a less conventional style. This is especially true of the late 1960s; some of the most daring, colorful, outrageous, and enduring of all motion pictures were released between 1965 and 1969."

"Everybody's Talkin' features the most notable movies of the time as selected by Screen World editor Barry Monush - big-budget blockbusters, low-budget gems, and everything in between. Each entry combines production details with insightful commentary on the content and context of the film. The illustrations include a wide variety of memorabilia, such as movie ads, tie-in book covers, soundtrack albums, and sheet music." "From The Sound of Music to Alfie, In the Heat of the Night to The Lion in Winter, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice to Planet of the Apes, Easy Rider, and Midnight Cowboy, here is a pop culture feast for film buffs and for all who love the endlessly fascinating time that was the late 1960s."--Jacket.
