Boom and Bust: American Cinema in the 1940s Volume 6 Paperback - 1999

by Thomas Schatz


From the publisher

Boom and Bust traces the movie industry through the momentous decade of the 1940s. It discusses changes in the structure of the studio system-including the shift to independent production-and the dominant stars, genres, and production trends through the period.

From the rear cover

"This book represents some of the finest scholarship in the field. . . . Schatz draws on a broad range of archival and trade press sources, and organizes his findings to highlight the dynamics of studio house styles, executive management and the production strategies of the major studios as the studio system coped with an array of 'momentous reversals.'"--Matthew Bernstein, author of Walter Wanger, Hollywood Independent
