The New York Times bestseller that follows the making of five films at a pivotal time in Hollywood history

In the mid-1960s, westerns, war movies, and blockbuster musicals like Mary Poppins swept the box office. The Hollywood studio system was astonishingly lucrative for the few who dominated the business. That is, until the tastes of American moviegoers radically- and unexpectedly-changed. By the Oscar ceremonies of 1968, a cultural revolution had hit Hollywood with the force of a tsunami, and films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, In the Heat of the Night, and box-office bomb Doctor Doolittle signaled a change in Hollywood-and America. And as an entire industry changed and struggled, careers were suddenly made and ruined, studios grew and crumbled, and the landscape of filmmaking was altered beyond all recognition.

Nice case for carrying keyboards
The case is perfect for carrying keyboards or other items. I am using it for an apple keyboard and trackpad.

Excellent Black Shelf Brackets for Sturdy Shelves!
Style: Black 8 Pack, Size: 7.25 inch
I recently purchased these black shelf brackets for my home office, and they have been a game-changer! The quality is outstanding, and they provided the sturdiness I needed for my shelves. I was able to create beautiful shelves effortlessly by pairing these brackets with 8" wide pine boards. These brackets are incredibly well-made and durable. They held the weight of my books, files, and office supplies with ease, without any signs of bending or sagging. I feel confident that my items are secure and won't come crashing down. Installation was a breeze. The brackets came with all the necessary hardware, and the instructions were clear and straightforward. Within minutes, I had my shelves up and ready to use. This is my second pack of these brackets, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. They are versatile, allowing me to create customized shelves that perfectly match my office decor. The sleek black finish adds a touch of elegance to the overall look. If you're looking for high-quality and sturdy shelf brackets, I highly recommend these. They have exceeded my expectations, and I am delighted with the results. Don't hesitate to give them a try for your shelving projects!

The screws are the best part
Style: Black 6 Pack, Size: 11.25 inch, Style: Black 6 Pack, Size: 11.25 inch
OK. So I spend a lot on (and I mean A LOT) on Amazon and I never write reviews. Just not my thing. But I had to write a review for this product. These brackets are fantastic - attractive, sturdy. But what threw me was the screws - they are SUCH high quality. They don't strip or lose their black color at all even when your drill, set to 0 slip, loses grip repeatedly because you drilled the pilot hole too small and are throwing every ounce of your body weight against it to get it to drive. And they give you extra! Like, enough to mount 8.5 brackets in a 6-bracket box. I am saving alllllll of these extra screws; if I could buy them separate I would. It might seem like a small thing but hardware is usually a place companies skimp on HARD, and to be confronted with such quality was truly a breath of fresh air. The brackets take some mounting expertise to ensure everything is true - lots of measuring and leveling (some minor differences in angle + or - a couple degrees, but they're SOLID. I will be buying these again in the future. Kudos for an awesome product.
