The Journal of Popular Film (Vol. V, No. 1; 1976)

[nice clean copy, light handling wear only]. (B&W photographs) In this issue: "The Visual Politics of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD"; " Smart Man's Burden--NASHVILLE, A FACE IN THE CROWD, and Popular Culture"; an interview with director Joseph Losey; "Nickel Vice and Virtue--Movie Censorship in Chicago, 1907-1915"; "DR. STRANGELOVE, RED ALERT, and Patterns of Paranoia in the 1950's"; "Cyrano de H.U.A.C." (about the political subtext of the 1950 film CYRANO DE BERGERAC, produced by Stanley Kramer and written by Carl Foreman). And you want some irony: the cover design, featuring a lovely drawing (by Steve Gerhard) of Lillian and Dorothy Gish, is linked to an inside-back-cover editorial statement noting that the issue was dedicated "to Miss Lillian Gish and to the memory of her beloved sister, Miss Dorothy Gish," on the occasion of the dedication of the Gish Film Theatre on the campus of Bowling Green State University -- wherefrom, you might know (if you follow such things), the Gish sisters' names were removed by university administrators in 2019 after a group of student activists protested that she had never "denounced or distanced herself from director D. W. Griffith," or did any other penance for her appearance in his film THE BIRTH OF A NATION.
