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.
