Screening The Sexes

About this book

Parker Tyler (1904-1974) was a noted American film critic and this text is regarded as his most significant work. Devoted to homosexuality in films it aims to look beyond the obvious and to observe the psychology of sex roles at the same time recognising film as the realm of contemporary mythology. Tyler was once described as one of the most consistently interesting and provocative writers on film that America has produced "well-informed and free of cant".
