Top Hat
Samenvatting
Top Hat is the first volume to spotlight this classic Hollywood film, probing the musical genre, notions of romance and subjectivity, as well as the contested relations between the sexes.
Offers a detailed analysis of one of Hollywood′s greatest musicals, including a comprehensive survey of the film′s production, promotion and reception, all measured against the background of 1930s socio–political contexts in the USA
Explores the musical genre and questions of (gendered) national identity, romance, subjectivity and the notion of the couple
Written in a clear, accessible style, Top Hat probes text and context carefully to appeal to the student and teacher of the musical and of Hollywood film history, as well as the film–loving general reader
