Icons of Grief: Val Lewton's Home Front Pictures

by A Nemerov (Author)

Synopsis

Looks at the haunting, melancholy horror films Val Lewton made between 1942 and 1946 and finds them to be powerful commentaries on the American home front during WWII. This study demonstrates the film-maker's interest in those who found themselves alienated by wartime society and illuminates the dark side of the American psyche in the 1940s.
