Often considered a Golden Age of Cinema, the Seventies relied in part on evolving from the Sixties, which itself enjoyed its share of solid filmmaking. A large factor within the Sixties was the cultural/emotional struggle between acceptance of old ways and their rejection. Remember? Count the ways! We will be screening four early Sixties films which present a number of issues through which American films envisioned the captives of social values and their, at times, embryonic attempts to fight back: Films to be shown include, "The Apartment" (1960), "The Hustler" (1961), "Dr. Strangelove . . ." (1964), and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (1966). Note: Class members will help constitute affirmations or denials of ideas explored in these films. Your memories will be as important for discussions as will any consideration of the films themselves.
