Schatz, Thomas
The Genius of the System: Hollywood Filmmaking in the Studio Era
New York Henry Holt and Company; Metropolitan Books 1996 0805046666 / 9780805046663 First paperback edition Soft Cover Very Good
xiv, 514 pp., illus.; 24 cm. First published, 1989. With a New Preface. Tight, clean copy. Lower right corner lightly bumped. Age toning. "At a time when the studio is making a stunning comeback, film historian Thomas Schatz provides an indispensable account of Hollywood's tradional blend of business and art. This book lays to rest the persistent myth that businesspeople and producers stifle artistic talent and reveals instead the genius of a system of collaboration and conflict. Working from industry documents, Schatz traces the development of house styles, the rise and fall of careers, and the making-and unmaking-of movies, from Frankenstein to Spellbound to Grand Hotel. Richly illustrated and highly readable, The Genius of the System gives the definitive view of the workings of the Old Hollywood and the foundations of the New. / Thomas Schatz, Professor of Radio-TV-Film at the University of Texas in Austin, is also the author of Hollywood Genres." - Publisher.
