Now came the (first) age of the blockbuster, of widescreen and stereophonic sound, of youth films, and Method acting, of a measure of psychological realism, and a new division, however, artificial, between art and entertainment films. The fifties are a fascinating period of reinvention and transition. Television, the blacklist, widescreen, Method acting, psychological realism, the decline of the Production Code, the influence of art cinema; iconic films from "Sunset Blvd." to "Some Like It Hot," "Singin' in the Rain" to "The Searchers," "Rebel Without a Cause" to "On the Waterfront."

Barrie's "Peter Pan" in order to establish a baseline for the historical treatment of the child as reader and subject.
