Examines how the postwar "problem film" translated contemporary policy debates and intellectual discussions into cinematic form in order to become one of the preeminent genres of prestige drama. Chris Cagle chronicles how these movies were often politically fractious, the work of progressive directors. Yet he also proposes that the genre helped to construct an abstract discourse of "society" that served to unify a middlebrow American audience.
