N2  - Two English professors at Morehead State University define the most recognizable features of films in 12 film genres, chronicle the history of each genre as it has evolved throughout the decades, and describe the various sub-genres within each genre. The exposition identifies significant or innovative examples of primarily American films in each genre, often summarizing the plot and noting the cast. Among the genres are costume film, epic, film noir, war film, and woman's film. Approximately 30 black and white movie stills are provided.
