Addison, Heather. "'Must the Players Keep Young?': Early Hollywood's Cult of Youth." 45.4 (summer 2006): 3-25.
Hollywood's predilection for youth is a long-standing, widely acknowledged phenomenon. Using articles and advertisements from the popular press, especially fan magazines, this essay investigates early Hollywood's publicly constructed relationship to the process of aging and argues that a cult of youth was firmly established by the late 1920s. This cult of youth, which celebrated young adulthood as the most privileged period of life, was the product of a number of historical forces, including prevailing American views on aging; the demands of an emerging consumer culture; and concerns about the motion picture camera's propensity to highlight the physical signs of advancing age.
Andrews, David. "Sex Is Dangerous, So Satisfy Your Wife: The Softcore Thriller in Its Contexts." 45.3 (spring 2006): 59-89.
Besides its high-budget theatrical sector, the erotic thriller includes lower-profile, lower-budget, nontheatrical subgenres like the softcore thriller. This article proposes that as the softcore thriller has grown more feminized, pornographic, and consumerist over the past fifteen years, it has also become less like 1940s film noir and much less expensive.

Bingham, Dennis. "'Before She Was a Virgin . . .': Doris Day and the Decline of Female Film Comedy in the 1950s and 1960s." 45.3 (spring 2006): 3-31.
Doris Day's complicated "dialogue" with her audiences varied over the decades, and endures, in a distorted way, in popular memory. This article studies the decline of her film stardom and her retirement from films as concurrent with the definitive end of the female comic as the unequivocal subject, rather than object, of comedy.

This article examines spectatorship in all-male theaters through an adaptation of the work of Siegfried Kracauer, a reading of Jerry Douglas's film The Back Row (1972), and ethnographic research on three prominent adult cinemas in the United States.
Chung, Hye Seung. "Portrait of a Patriot's Son: Philip Ahn and Korean Diasporic Identities in Hollywood." 45.2 (winter 2006): 43-67.
This essay examines the life and career of Philip Ahn (1905–78), the first Korean American actor to appear in Hollywood movies. His on-screen and off-screen personas are situated in a transnational context of Korean colonial diaspora in hopes of recuperating his pioneering status in both American and South Korean film industries.
Diffrient, David Scott. "'Military Enlightenment' for the Masses: Genre and Cultural Intermixing in South Korea's Golden Age War Films." 45.1 (fall 2005): 22-49. [End Page 148]
Although officially categorized as "military enlightenment" and "anticommunist" by the Park Chung Hee regime, the war films directed by Yi Man-Hŭi (Lee Man-hee)—one of the most important auteurs in South Korea's cinematic Golden Age of the 1960s—transcend formulaic genre constraints and deserve special attention for their humanistic approach to the...
