or paricularly on the political aspect of the a lot of the 50s sci movies (fear of communism, fear of the bombs, etc). im taking a class on 1950s culture, and i intend to write my final paper on the subject. i've been browsing amazon and am having trouble finding what looks like a good book about this.

also, any recommendations of movies to watch is appreicated. i've already got a few of the staples covered: invasion of the body snatchers, the day the earth stood still, war of the worlds, them.

thanks.
