An exceptionally interesting book about the 1967 Oscar race, which pitted New Hollywood against Old Hollywood for the final time. The book expertly describes the major players during and post-production. Harris has access to everyone and sympathy for nearly everyone and it results in a book fascinating for all. -Michael

One of The Hollywood Reporter's 100 Greatest Film Books of All Time

Pictures at a Revolution is probably one of the best books I've ever read in my life. --Quentin Tarantino

The New York Times bestseller that follows the making of five films at a pivotal time in Hollywood history

In the mid-1960s, westerns, war movies, and blockbuster musicals like Mary Poppins swept the box office. The Hollywood studio system was astonishingly lucrative for the few who dominated the business. That is, until the tastes of American moviegoers radically- and unexpectedly-changed. By the Oscar ceremonies of 1968, a cultural revolution had hit Hollywood with the force of a tsunami, and films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, In the Heat of the Night, and box-office bomb Doctor Doolittle signaled a change in Hollywood-and America. And as an entire industry changed and struggled, careers were suddenly made and ruined, studios grew and crumbled, and the landscape of filmmaking was altered beyond all recognition.
