Abstract

If Dick (emer., Fairleigh Dickinson) had put off publication a few more months, he could have included the Coen brothers Hail, Caesar, which spoofs ?commies? portrayed in Hollywood movies in the 1940s and the 1950s, the Cold War, the HUAC period, Senator Joe McCarthy, and the replacement of the Yellow Peril with the Red Menace. Susan Sontag's ?The Imagination of Disaster? (collected in her Against Interpretation, CH, Jul'66) is possibly the first critical piece on monster movies spawned by the atom and hydrogen bombs, but Dick does not emphasize the moral implications of these films as much as Sontag does. He sees communists. He sees them everywhere, and he is not wrong in his ideologically oriented study of how it was necessary for Hollywood to maintain a strong anti-communist line (just as, ironically, Hollywood kept Hitler happy in the 1930s and very early 1940s). Dick devotes chapters to John Wayne and Alfred Hitchcock, and he is especially strong on Dr. Strangelove, Fail-Safe, and the Cold War symbolism of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and High Noon. But he is not beyond noting Flight to Nowhere, a 1940s B movie. In other words, Dick is encyclopedic. The book includes a full filmography.

Abstract

From Double Indemnity to The Godfather, the stories behind some of the greatest films ever made pale beside the story of the studio that made them. In the golden age of Hollywood, Paramount was one of the Big Five studios. Gulf + Western's 1966 takeover of the studio signaled the end of one era and heralded the arrival of a new way of doing business in Hollywood. Bernard Dick reconstructs the battle that culminated in the reduction of the studio to a mere corporate commodity. He then traces Paramount's devolution from free-standing studio to subsidiary -- first of Gulf + Western, then Paramo

Abstract

On October 30, 1947, the House Committee on Un-American Activities concluded the first round of hearings on the allege Communist infiltration of the motion picture industry. Hollywood was ordered to ""clean its own house,"" and ten witnesses who had refused to answer questions about their membership in the Screen Writers Guild and the Communist party eventually received contempt citations. By 1950 the Hollywood Ten, as they quickly became known, were serving prison sentences ranging from six months to a year. Since that time the group, which included writers, directors, and a producer, have be

Abstract

Hal Wallis might not be as well known as David O. Selznick or Samuel Goldwyn, but the films he produced -- Casablanca, Jezebel, Now Voyager, The Life of Emile Zola, Becket, True Grit, and many other classics (as well as scores of Elvis movies) -- have certainly endured. As producer of numerous films, Wallis made an indelible mark on the course of America's film industry, but his contributions are often overlooked and no full-length study has yet assessed his incredible career.A former office boy and salesman, Wallis first engaged with the business of film as the manager of a Los Angeles movie
