Mad, Bad and Dangerous?: The Scientist and the Cinema

Explores the genealogy of the film scientist in films made in Western Europe, and especially in Hollywood after the 1930s, showing how in film the scientist has often been used to represent the prevailing phobias of the time. This work also examines the portrayal of real-life scientists in the movies.
