      Set against a backdrop of 1970s paranoia and conspiracy, this study examines The Parallax View's reflection and construction of political history. Mark Campbell analyzes its adaptation from Loren Singer's pulp novel and emphasizes the pivotal role of cinematographer Gordon Willis in shaping the film's visual style, which enhances its themes of delusion and intrigue. The exploration highlights how the film not only mirrors its era but also contributes to the understanding of political narratives driven by hidden agendas.

      Prohibition in the US was instituted during the 1920s, making the sale of alcohol illegal, in an effort to 'clean up' the sins of those 'evil' imbibers. However, far from shutting down the country's debauchery (and, let's face it, fun), it gave rise to a proliferation of speakeasies - underground drinking dens that became particularly popular in New York. Here, the golden era of the cocktail was born. The iconic Sidecar, White Lady, Clover Club and French 75 cocktails, among many others, were born in the dark, smokey, drinking dens of the era. Speakeasy is a cocktail book that celebrates this exciting gin-soaked, gangster-frollicking era, with 200 cocktails for every taste. With cool 1920s-style illustrations throughout, and a perfect gift format, this is the one cocktail book to relive the heady golden days.
