GMALL Presents – From “The Sound of Music” to “Midnight Cowboy”: What Happened to Hollywood?

March 11 @ 5:30pm-7:00pm

$22

Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning (GMALL) welcomes back Dr. Andrew J. Douglas to talk about the big changes in Hollywood in the late 1960’s. In the 50 months between the releases of these two films in 1965 and 1969, respectively, the American film industry changed forever. Gone was the appropriate-for-all approach instituted by the studio moguls, who themselves were nearly extinct by this time. In its place emerged a something-for-everyone strategy, fueled by the new ratings system and emblematic of the corporate and political culture that had taken over Hollywood—and the counterculture that had swept across America. Join us to explore this tectonic shift through clips from such films as Blow-Up, The Graduate, and Bonnie and Clyde. Registration is $22 per person. For more information or to register, please call 802-867-0111 or visit our website at greenmtnacademy.org.
