Author Description

The cinematic revolution that ignited in the early 1970s exploded in the decade's second half with some of the most exciting and important movies ever made. Alien, All the President's Men, Animal House, Annie Hall, Apocalypse Now, Jaws, Network, Rocky, Saturday Night Fever, Star Wars, Superman, Taxi Driver-just a dozen of the many classics that made the '70s the greatest movie decade of all time. The fiftieth-anniversary celebrations for 1970-1974 movies began in the first volume of The Daring Decade: The Exciting, Influential and Bodaciously Fun American Movies of the 1970s (hailed as a "fascinating and informative book" by San Luis Obispo County's New Times). The toga party continues in volume two with entertaining and enlightening analysis of hundreds of memorable movies released from 1975 to 1979. Written by Chris Strodder (author of acclaimed books on popular culture), illustrated with vintage black-and-white movie art, and enhanced by a foreword and an afterword from two Oscar-nominated actors, The Daring Decade is a book all movie fans will lurve.
