Originally produced for PBS, the American Cinema series examines at length what is probably the leading American art form: film. Chock-full of clips from important films and interviews with the men and women who made them, each episode is an in-depth look at an important facet of the history of American film. This particular episode examines the American war movie. America is a country defined by the wars it fought, and this program discusses how the Hollywood depiction of war affected American concepts of masculinity.
