"Lost in the Fifties: Recovering Phantom Hollywood" reveals two 1950s: an era glorified in Hollywood movies and a darker reality reflected in the esoteric films of the decade. Renowned film scholar Wheeler Winston Dixon turns to the marginsthe television shows and films of a hidden Hollywoodto offer an authentic view of the 1950s that counters the Tinsel-town version. Dixon examines the lost films and directors of the decade. Contrasting traditional themes of love, marriage, and family, Dixon s 1950s film world unveils once-taboo issues of rape, prostitution, and gangs. Television shows such as "Captain Midnight "and "Ramar of the Jungle" are juxtaposed with the cheerful world of "I Love Lucy "and "Howdy Doody." Highlighting directors including Herbert L. Strock, Leslie Martinson, Arnold Laven, and Charles Haas, Dixon provides new insights on the television series "Racket Squad,"
