Includes bibliographical references and index. Intelligenti -- Stargazers -- Civilization : the movie -- Civilization : the movie noir -- Unseen melodies/reel time -- POV pandora. "Hollywood Intellect takes off from the wide-spread hand-wringing over the fate or disappearance of so-called public intellectuals. An account of the title phenomenon, Hollywood Intellect challenges assumptions on which such discussions have rested. James D. Bloom argues that such assumptions are the result of misleading inattention to the intellectual work that mass culture performs." |
