Description

In The Genius of the System, Thomas Schatz recalls Hollywood’s Golden Age from the 1920s until the break of day of tv within the overdue 1940s, when quality films were produced impulsively and cost efficiently way to the intricate design of the system. Schatz takes us through the upward push and fall of individual careers and the making—and unmaking—of films such as Frankenstein, Casablanca, and Hitchcock’s Notorious. Through detailed analysis of major Hollywood moviemakers including Universal, Warner Bros., and MGM, he reminds us of a time when studios had distinct personalities and the connection between contracts and creativity used to be not mutually exclusive.
