Drawing on iconic films from the era -- Saturday Night Fever, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Walking Tall, and Five Easy Pieces, among others -- Nystrom presents an incisive, evocative study of labor, class, and American cinema in the wake of Vietnam, women's and gay liberation, the rise of the New Right, and other events that defined the decade.
