About this product
Product Information
Assault on Society explores over four decades of satirical and dark comedy films, a genre that has been examined only piecemeal before. Since many of these were adapted from novels and dramas, McCaffrey concentrates on literature transformed to the screen. Some works of the genre attack society's defects with the intent to change them, or at least to make us aware of them. If change seems impossible, the absurdist tone of the work has therapeutic value, as in the case of Dr. Strangelove, Catch-22, Day of the Locust, or A Clockwork Orange. Tom Jones and The Horse's Mouth feature picaresque protagonists and expose hypocrisy, blindness, and pretense. The legacy of dark humor and satire from the 60s and 70s lives on in the movies of the 80s and 90s.

Reviews
Delivers a solid overview of the tradition of satire in our culture. McCaffrey has gone to particular effort to research pre-production scripts and other archival material when available...details prove helpful in pointing out exactly how a director portrayed satiric intent and how the final result relates to the original literary source., ...a firmly-founded study...Essential reading for serious students of film...[McCaffrey] is dealing with material closest to his heart. This book is his richest work., ...deftly organized...the analysis...is lucid and compelling...An immensely readable work that whets the intellectual curiosity for more on the subject.
