American Films of the 70s: Conflicting VisionsUniversity of Texas Press, 2000 - 238 páginas While the anti-establishment rebels of 1969's Easy Rider were morphing into the nostalgic yuppies of 1983's The Big Chill, Seventies movies brought us everything from killer sharks, blaxploitation, and disco musicals to a loving look at General George S.
