Journal Article
Elia Kazan: The Cinema of an American Outsider
2010
Overview
[...]Kazan's films also become a useful lens through which to view US culture and society during that same period. While I would like to have seen more on his Oscar-winning film Gentleman's Agreement (1948), especially its importance in broaching the subject of US anti-Semitism after the Second World War, the brief treatment here is understandable given that it has already been the focus of much attention. [...]I was surprised to see so little mention of Arthur Miller's View from the Bridge (1955), written in direct response to On the Waterfront (1954) and, as its title suggests, purporting to take a more dispassionate view of the subject of informing than Kazan did.
