Review
"In this well-researched book, film scholar Massey looks at the impact of art deco, introduced in 1925 at the Exposition des Arts Decoratif in Paris, on material culture in general and on design in Hollywood films in particular from the 1920s through the 1950s ... Solidly grounded in the history of architectural design and fashion in the US and Britain and informed by recent work on gender and material culture, the book focuses on the impact of style moderne on everyday life within British working-class culture, ranging from the design of factories, cinemas, and seaside resorts to trends in makeup, hairstyles, and fashion." --Choice
"This book gave me a lot to think about, and delighted me in the process." --Dress
