This book includes essays that examine an array of films, including Calamity Jane, Rear Window, The Hunger, Heavenly Creatures, and Bound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Dedicated to sniffing out the pansy quotient in ostensibly straight texts, queer theory sounds like fun ... It's certainly amusing to regard Hope and Crosby as illicit paramours in their 40s 'Road to ...' comedies, but I wish the creative misreader Steven Cohan didn't feel the need to unpack every last double entendre. The same goes for Alexander Doty, who ponders the latent homoerotics of Powell and Pressburger. \" (and so it goes on)--Sight and Sound, February 2000\"The whole is well designed, readable and illustrated with frame enlargements. The contributions retain the best aspects of queer theory's appealing revision of the past, revealing examination of the present and weather eye on the future. The volume is also welcome in that it is not purely located in the labyrinthine psychoanalytic underworld where much similar work tends to be found, and many of the contributions retain the sense of humour that is happily part of much of queer theory's style.\"--Mark Brownrigg, University of Stirling, SCOPE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Out Takes \/ Ellis Hanson \u003cbr\u003e Cruise Control: Rethinking Masculinity in Classic Cinema \u003cbr\u003e Queering the Deal: On the Road with Hope and Crosby \/ Steven Cohan \u003cbr\u003e The Queer Aesthete, the Diva, and \u003ci\u003eThe Red Shoes\u003c\/i\u003e \/ Alexander Doty \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRear Window\u003c\/i\u003e's Glasshole \/ Lee Edelman \u003cbr\u003e Visual Pleasure in 1959 \/ D.
