On December 8, 1967 Timemagazine put Bonnie and Clydeon its cover and announced, "The New Cinema: Violence ... Sex ... Art." The following decade has long been celebrated as a golden age in American film history. In this innovative study, Peter Krämer offers a systematic discussion of the biggest hits of the period (including The Graduate[1967], The Exorcist[1973] and Jaws[1975]). He relates the distinctive features of these hits to changes in the film industry, in its audiences and in American society at large.
