Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Monte Hellman, Jack Nicholson, Kris Kristofferson, and Sam Peckinpah, among others, parlayed a nostalgia for the gutter and donned bohemian personae, pulling on soiled shirts and scuffed boots to better counter the glamour and phoniness of Tinseltown. The result was a generation of movies, including \u003ci\u003eThe Hired Hand\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFive Easy Pieces\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTwo-Lane Blacktop\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Picture Show\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePat Garrett and Billy the Kid\u003c\/i\u003e. With great care for the historical record and displaying a refined critical acuity, Peter Stanfield captures that pivotal moment when Hollywood tried to sell a begrimed vision of itself to the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789148626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2024 pg. 99\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2024 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Peter Stanfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44207326429365,"sku":"9781789148626","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_78c92d32-b43f-4112-a420-7edb8402be48.jpg?v=1716908990","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dirty-real-exile-on-hollywood-and-vine-with-the-gin-mill-cowboys-9781789148626","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
