This work offers a critical examination of 130 commercially-released film comedies of the 1970s. It considers the socio-political circumstances of each year of the decade, then critiques each film released that year with a focus on its effect on the film industry and the art of big screen comedy, as well as the emergence of talents whose work influenced (or was influenced by) the zeitgeist of the decade. Covering popular titles like M*A*S*H, Blazing Saddles, American Graffiti, The Bad News Bears, Smokey and the Bandit and many more, it argues that the 1970s may rightly be considered the last golden age of film comedy.
Author Desi Sanchez, a native of Cuba, was twenty-two years old when the Bay of Pigs incident took place there in 1961. He had made the decision to side against Fidel Castro long before the confrontation and served as a merchant marine in the SS Houston during the invasion. In 2010 Desi Sanchez received an honorary crew member certificate of the DDE-510 Eaton. Havana was Desi Sanchez’s home. He was born there, grew up there, went to school there, and fell in love there. Eventually, however, as Castro’s regime began to take hold and everything began to change, he learned that home isn’t where your life happened; it’s where your heart is. Sometimes you just have to find a new home. Originally writing his memoir in order to bridge the gap between generations within his own family, Sanchez has since come to realize the importance of preserving history from the perspectives of the participants for all to see. Now he shares his life story.

As a reader, remember that Hodor tells you his saga IN HIS OWN WORDS. If you love this hero as much as we do, you'll know exactly what to expect in Hodor's autobiography. ==> If you love this Hodor book, you'll also love THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD by Ned Stark, THINGS JON SNOW KNOWS by Ygritte, and TALES OF THRONES fanfiction short reads! Attention: In case you haven't gotten the joke, this GOT character only says one word throughout the entire series: "Hodor." A majority of the text of this book is just variations of sentences made up of the word 'Hodor'. So please be advised that most of this joke book is just Hodor's own words and not really a readable story. Aaaand...part of the fun of the first edition was reading the funny reviews from readers about their experience of the "story". So after you pick up a copy of this masterpiece, please leave your thoughts in a review!
