In Me Jane, leading female film scholars from both sides of the Atlantic get to grips with masculinity and cinema. In original studies ranging from the Western to melodrama our contributors see masculinity as delicate, fragile, provisional; it is under threat, in danger of collapse, an impossible ideal. These signs of the masculine in films are recognised by women viewers who are subject to patriarchial masculinity in their own feminine formation but not subject to it in the sense that to be male is nevr their goal. The pleasures of the cinema-going are aso celebrated. 51. Near Fine/No Jacket.
