Reviews

“I have been teaching film and politics with this textbook since it was in its original pre-publication form. My undergraduate students consistently find it accessible and informative. Ernest Giglio has been responsive to feedback, especially from students. With this edition, he continues his commitment to be current with developments in the field and interests of students and instructors. The fourth edition will be on my syllabus for my next politics and film course.”—John W. Williams, Professor of Political Science, Principia College “Now in its fourth edition, Here’s Looking at You has become a seminal work in understanding the interplay between politics and Hollywood. Ernest Giglio, with his vast knowledge and insight, helps to illuminate this complex relationship. The analysis is both timely and timeless.”—Mark Sachleben, Shippensburg University
