Jamie Rockers, burned out by Hollywood, decides to “cast” her promising casting career aside and follows the fork in the road that takes her to the throbbing nightlife and hot spot of Buenos Aires to immerse herself in the language, culture, and tango of the porteños. Buenos Aires, 6,170 miles from Hollywood, seems to her a place bright with promise. Argentina seems like a dream world from afar but the reality is that she arrives in the summer of discontent, when Argentina's financial crisis rocked the country and suddenly, their currency was worth a quarter of what it had been the month before. She sees firsthand how the financial crisis affects the locals and the chaos that follows; protests on the streets where the citizens bang pots and pans, the vandalizing of banks, and the extreme distrust of the government. While this is happening in the background, she meets a handsome tango instructor named Marco who wants to teach her how to tango. Sounds like a dream come true, right? Tango turns out to be harder than she thought however, even though she invests in tango lessons and practices at milongas with Marco. In between learning to tango, she experiences adventures in the Pampas with gauchos, immerses herself in the mystery of Argentina's first lady, Eva Peron, rides through the cobbled streets of Colonia, Uruguay searching for its history, tries to avoid poisonous butterflies in the rainforests of Iguaçu Falls in Brazil, frolics among the grape fields in Chile, learns about the mysteries of Easter Island, and faces the hardest physical challenge of her life while glacier trekking in Patagonia, five-hundred miles from Antarctica.6,000 Miles From Hollywood: A Tale of Wanderlust in South America follows her adventures through the magical landscapes of South America and her experiences with the wonderful people she meets along the way.

Blessed with a natural beauty, Scotland-born actress Deborah Kerr (1921–2007) provided the cinema with memorable studies of English gentility. A star in British pictures before she was 21 and a Hollywood fixture from 1946 on, she projected a cool reserve and stoic nobility, often hinting at passion and insecurity beneath the surface. Frequently portraying selfless, sympathetic women, she was brilliant in such roles as Anna Leonowens in The King and I (1956). And in a fascinating departure from her normal range, her portrayal of the sexually frustrated Army wife in From Here to Eternity (1953) resulted in the screen’s most famous “clinch”—the beach scene with Burt Lancaster. Though she never won an Academy Award despite six nominations, Deborah Kerr received an honorary Oscar in 1994.

For 100 years, Hollywood has provided both the majority and the most popular of films shown on British screens. For many Britons, Hollywood films are not foreign films. Whether seen in the cinema, on television or the internet, they are regarded as normal screen fare and a part of everyday life. Hollywood and the Americanization of Britain is the first book to take a wide ranging view of this phenomenon, exploring the tastes and preferences of British audiences from the silent era to the present. Mark Glancy investigates the British reception of Hollywood films, ranging from The Public Enemy through film history to The Patriot and Grease. Drawing on rich original sources, his carefully researched and lively book explores Hollywood's capacity to appeal to British audiences, as well as its ability to alienate, enrage and amuse them.

Jeffrey Richards examines the cultural, social, economic and technological circumstances that dictated the rise and decline of each successive cycle of Ancient World epics, from the silent film era, to the "golden age" of the 1950s, right up to the present day (Gladiator, 300, Rome). Analysis reveals that historical films are always as much about the time in which they are made as they are about the time in which they are set. The ancient world is often used to deliver messages to the contemporary audience about the present: hostility to totalitarian regimes both Fascist and Communist, concern at the decline of Christianity, support for the new state of Israel, celebrations of equality and democracy, and concern about changing gender roles. The whole adds up to a fresh look at a body of films that people think they know, but about which they will learn a good deal more.
