| Abstract | "The book discusses the marketing of science-fiction films and how this helped in defining the larger genre of science fiction itself during its great blossoming in the 1950s. Telotte uses a variety of sources, including trade reports, advertising copy, and studio pressbooks, as well as paratextual material like trailers, to show how how not just the films themselves but these ancillary items, too, helped to shape the genre"-- Provided by publisher. |
