Reviews
"Stanfield's vivid prose, his attention to intellectual subtlety, and his grasp of large cinematic issues make for a very smart book that breaks new ground in its engagement with postwar American culture and criticism." -- R. Barton Palmer * author of Hollywood's Dark Cinema: The American Film Noir *
"Maximum Movies, Pulp Fictions is a well-researched, well written and deeply felt tribute to the films and cinephilic writers that laid the foundation for the discipline."
* Quarterly Review of Film and Video *
