Sobre IBD

Unfaithful: The History of the Adultery Film provides an in-depth examination of the adultery film. The book offers insights into the reasons that this film genre has always fascinated and provoked audiences. The adultery film explores the dilemmas of human nature, the complexities of marriage, and the consequences of infidelity.The subject of adultery has been explored in thousands of films. It has been at the center of melodramas (The Letter), romances (Casablanca), screwball comedies (The Awful Truth), dark comedies (The Apartment), thrillers (Diabolique), murder films (Double Indemnity), slasher films (Fatal Attraction), military films (From Here to Eternity) and Gothic dramas (The Piano). The book traces the many ways that Hollywood has grappled with this challenging and significant topic. It examines the evolution that the adultery film made from lurid and outlandish melodrama to sensitive and realistic drama.  The book is a comprehensive study of the adultery film as a dramatic genre, but it is also an exploration of the cultural impact of these films. The book is designed to appeal to both cinephiles and those readers interested in social history.

  • Richard Pryor in Hollywood

    Hollywood studios were once eager to bring stand-up comedy king Richard Pryor’s dynamic humor to the big screen--so much so that studio executives gave him full access to available resources and creative control to develop his own projects. Unfortunately Pryor’s screen talents were far less acclaimed than his stage ones, and flops such as The Toy and Superman III greatly dim...

  • I Won’t Grow Up!
    Anthony Balducci
    A film archetype as old as film itself, the man-child has been an enduring comedy subject.

But he was not born fully formed--it took the shifting social norms of decades to mold the atrocious behavior of the pueril...

To the trained eye, Hamilton demonstrated keen timing and an inventive mind, providing wry humor rich in emotion during his 20 year career.
