A monograph examining the portrayal of higher education in movies from 1 with a view not only of how Americans gained their perceptions of higher education and college life during this crucial period, but also of the fascinating tension between movie fantasy and the realities of life. Hinton delves into how movies treat the classroom, extracurricular activities, sports, professors, romance, alcohol, drugs and, sometimes, education itself, with insight into how movies often reflect America's latent anti-intellectualism.
