| Abstract
|
:
|
Now that the critics and film historians have spoken on movies of the past half century, Stempel (cinema, Los Angeles City College) gives audiences a voices on them. He considers box office statistics, but also asked over 150 movie fans to talk to him about the human side of going to the movies. Among other conclusions, he finds that the mass media are not nearly as influential as they say they are. -- Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
