Overview
Seeing is Believing is a Provocative, Shrewd and Witty Look at the Hollywood Fifties Movies We All Love - or Love to Hate - and the Thousand Subtle Ways They Reflect the Political Tensions of the Decade. Peter Biskind Concentrates on the Films Everybody Saw but Nobody Really Looked At, Classics Such As Giant, Rebel Without a Cause, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Shows Us How Movies That Appear Politically Innocent in Fact Bear an Ideological Burden. As We See Organization Men and Rugged Individualists, Housewives, and Career Women, Cops and Docs, Teen Angels and Teenage Werewolves Fight It Out Across the Screen, From Suburbia to the Farthest Reaches of the Cosmos, We Understand That We Have Been Watching One Long Dispute About How to Be a Man, a Woman, an American - the Conflicts of the Time in Action.
