Creating the Couple by Virginia Wright Wexman
Who decides how, when, and where Americans fall in love and get married? This book shows that Hollywood has often had the most powerful voice in demonstrating socially sanctioned ways of becoming a couple.
"The pages are bursting with discussions of classics such as The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, Sunset Boulevard, On the Waterfront and NashvilleThe book explores not only the relationships between men and women in these movies but also the specific acting techniques of the stars and their lives off screen."--The Washington Times
