Catholicism in the American West : A Rosary

When a movie of a historical event is released, there are always two questions: What did they get right? What did they get wrong? In this volume, the authors examine the importance of not only understanding but also embracing the range of effects film has on our understanding of history and even the present. Chapters by a variety of authors address films such as Seabiscuit, Cinderella Man, The Grapes of Wrath, The Gangs of New York, Patton, Birth of a Nation, and Glory. Book jacket.
