This is a collection of essays on classic films exploring the culture, message, and entertainment of these films in the context of the time in which they were made, specifically, in the years 1928 to 1960.
The movies are presented in the order of the year or years in which they are set, not necessarily the year in which the film was made. These essays are not reviews of the films, they are an analysis of film as it reflects popular culture, and are chock full of spoilers.
