Film studios have been making historical movies now for over a century. In that time, thousands of films have been made covering not just centuries but millennia. Did Neanderthal woman really look like Raquel Welch in her bearskin bikini? Did 6,000 rebellious slaves claim that they were Spartacus? And did Berengaria complain to her husband, Richard the Lionheart, 'War, war; that's all you think about, Dick Plantagenet'? These aren't questions of history; they are questions of Hollywood. This book explains how - despite glaring shortcomings in recreating the past - Hollywood has managed to address history and keep millions of us enthralled for generations.
