We believe that American films created for mass audiences throughout the country and the world between the 1920's - 1960's serve as important historical records that document and reflect prevailing American social, cultural, economic, political, religious and moral attitudes and assumptions. In addition, we believe in investigating the significance of these films by actor, director, studio, genre, theme, etc.

We believe in the value of comparing our interpretations, findings, discoveries and viewpoints -- relative to the abovementioned criteria -- to the state of contemporary American society and current state of global affairs.
