| Description: |
From teddyboys, teeny-boppers, rockers and bobby-soxers to Hollywood stars such as Elvis, Marilyn, James Dean and Buddy Holly, this visual celebration of everyday life and popular culture during the fifties focuses on the British and American youth and entertainment explosion in this defining and in every way revolutionary period. |
| Synopsis: |
In the peace and prosperity of the post-war period, a cultural revolution broke out: rock 'n roll was here to stay and restless youth exploded with energy. Celebrate the 1950s through evocative, extraordinary photographs and witty, incisive text. Coming alive are the decade's most popular TV shows; dancers letting the good times roll; and the fads, fashions, beatniks, bohemians, celebrities, cinematic successes, and defining gizmos, gadgets, signs, and ads. You'll understand why a whole lot of shakin' was going on! |
