From Joseph McCarthy's efforts to root out communists and other leftists from the film industry to Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger being elected to the California Governor's office, Hollywood and Washington, D.C. have had a long and complicated relationship. Giglio (emeritus, politics and American studies, Lycoming College) surveys aspects of this relationship in this undergraduate level textbook for courses on political film. Among the topics he addresses are political enforcement of ratings standards, censorship, portrayals of politicians on film, depiction of the American legal system, and movies and war.
