Beschreibung:
"This powerfully original work is perhaps the most complete documentation we have had to date of the persistently morphing moving-image commodity. Barbara Klinger uses the longevity and iterative nature of this beloved movie to show us how ideas about history, taste, value, gender, class, and race are unevenly shifted or reinforced. Immortal Films is essential reading for film, media, and popular culture scholars."--Charles R. Acland, author of American Blockbuster: Movies, Technology, and Wonder
