This anthology deals with such diverse conventions as the treatment of food, the iconography of weapons, the paraphernalia of baseball, the uses of clothing, tools, and technologies, and the representation of art and print media within the world of film. The essays within this collection help to reveal how the objects in American movies reflect both the fixed and changeable cultural assumptions of film makers and film audiences.

In this volume of the "Beyond the Stars" series, the subject of the various individual essays are discrete conventions of movie locales, but the subject of the volume as a whole--as with the other books in the series--is the viability of film convention studies as a tool for the study of film and American culture.
