Good Morning, Mr. Zip Zip Zip: Movies, Memory and World War II
Chicago, IL: Ivan R. Dee Publisher, 2003. Hardcover. xix, 329, [1] p. Index. World War II-era Hollywood showed us fantastic possibilities and made them plausible, but in so doing it profoundly misled us about the nature of the war, our soldiers, our government, and the home front. Here Mr. Schickel, the film critic and biographer, sets the record straight about that view of the war, and he does it by illuminating the meaning of wartime films set against the background of his own growing up. An engaging and entirely original anti-memoir...A wonderful, provocative book. --John Dunne. Condition: Very good / very good.
