Pictures at a Revolution

In 1967, revolution was in the air. And not just on college campuses. Hollywood, too, was at the threshold of a generational rebellion.

The year's Oscar nominees told the story: So long to the super-sanitized, big-studio moviemaking machines. Hello to the new rough-and-tumble — sex, violence, and rock-n-roll. Out with the "Sound of Music" clones. In with "Bonnie & Clyde", "In the Heat of the Night" and "The Graduate." Films that captured the American moment, and ushered in a new Hollywood era.
