Abstract

Whilst there have been other historical and sociological analyses of sports films, Sport and Film provides a contemporary and systematic exploration of both the evolution of sports film and how this genre is a prime exemplar of wider cultural values. Its primary thesis is that mainstream sports films ‘play a crucial role in sustaining and affirming the myth of achieving the American Dream’
