Dana Polan, Film Quarterly
"Boom and Bust constitutes an essential background for anyone interested in this complicated decade. . . . By dealing with break and continuity together, Schatz is able to tell several histories of American film: the history of the cinema's recruitment by politics, but also the history of industrial practices that move at their own irreducible speed."
Product Description
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.
Reader Reviews
An extraordinary book in an extraordinary series (all the other volumes in the History of the American Cinema are first rate as well). Schatz tells the fascinating story of a decade in which Hollywood saw its fortunes rise and then collapse. Not just a fine example of film history, but of business history as well.
