Riassunto

In the 1950s and early 1960s, America imagined itself young and in love in Europe. And Hollywood films of the era reflected this romantic allure. This title features films that were not only indicative of the ideology of the American-dominated postwar world order, but also represented a shift in Hollywood production values.
