“The Look of Catholics: Portrayals in Popular Culture from the Great Depression to the Cold War” is a fascinating work by Anthony Burke Smith. In film, radio, print Catholics contributed significantly to the American Imagination during
some of the truly toughest years our nation has faced. It is really interesting how the country would turn to the virtuous communal nature of the Catholic identity to lift itself during this time.

I loved it and so will you I bet!
