THE GENIUS OF THE SYSTEM: Hollywood Filmmaking in the Studio Era
By Thomas Schatz
University of Minnesota Press | 528 pages | 2010
ISBN 978-0-8166-7010-9| paperback | $24.95

Thomas Schatz recalls Hollywood's Golden Age from the 1920s until the 
dawn of television in the late 1940s. 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 relationship between contracts and creativity was not 
mutually exclusive.

Thomas Schatz is professor of communication at the University of 
Texas, Austin. He is the author of several books, including Hollywood 
Genres and Boom and Bust: American Cinema in the 1940s.
