    Planet of the Apes as American Myths SC (1998) Race, Politics, and Popular Culture 1-1ST

    1st printing. By Eric Greene. Foreword by Richard Slotkin. In 1968, PLANET OF THE APES became a megahit movie both in the United States and abroad, inspiring four film sequels, two TV series, and several comic series. The APes films confronted some of the most controversial issues of the time, including Vietnam and the Black Power movement, all the while remaining crowd-pleasing box office hits. Eric Greene uses rare photographs, transcripts, and extensive interviews with the writers, directors, actors, and producers to read the Apes saga as a profoundly American myth. Greene also looks at the attempts of filmmakers like Oliver Stone and James Cameron to remake the myth for the nineties. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 250 pages, Text (with B&W Photos).
