Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.

Thirty-three-year-old journalist, Steve Cooper returns from an assignment in The Philippines when informed of his mother's death. He and his twin sisters, Marilyn and Melanie, decide to search for the father they have not seen in nearly thirty years. They want to know him and love him. A secret government agency is also looking for him. They want to kill him. This is the background for a fast paced thriller that takes place in the Boston area with added venues in New Hampshire, Vermont, and a fish camp in the Quebec wilderness.Characters in this book include Donald, a one-armed hitman, who loves Cheetos. Chuck, an aging Intelligence Director, hanging on for this last mission. Barbara, his assistant, a strikingly beautiful woman of Apache heritage, who, "In another time and place, would have been a Chiricahua warrior." Jimmy, an undocumented young Hispanic surveillance expert. The Martin brothers, IRA "soldiers" from Southie. Moreover, the quarry, Jack Vincent, a member of an elite government supported killing team, has decided to reveal his secret mission to the public.As Steve and the twins struggle to understand the strange events that have invaded their lives, the clues begin to add up, as does their jeopardy. Whom do they trust, where do they go? Their previously happy world is turned upside down with the threats they do not fully understand.This story explores the possibility of government involvement at a time of unprecedented concern for our national security. What is the role of truth?Dialogue drives a suspenseful narrative that combines with offsetting humor to tell this story. It follows Steve Cooper from The Philippine jungles, to his fitness club, to the Irish pubs of South Boston. The smart, sassy twins have encounters with the hitman, Donald, adding to the mystery as they are caught in this web of intrigue.The result--retribution. However, the question remains, who is right, who are the winners?
