This work combines a history of Hollywood with an analysis of how and why the entertainment capital of the world has consistently survived its own limitations to meet changing public tastes with its own brand of vigour and renewal for over 60 years. This illustrated book presents a decade-by-decade study of Hollywood's response to changing times.
