In
a knowledgeable and
entertaining manner, Zierold relates the stories
of Hollywood’s founders and “Golden
Age” power brokers—the Selznicks,
Mayers, Laemmles, Goldwyns, Schulbergs, Laskys,
DeMilles, Zukors, Cohns, Warners, Zanucks, and
others. These men and their families built the
studio system and in the process created the “American
film.” This is essential Hollywood—from
the ‘20s to the [50s—the period when
movies became a major element in the shaping
of the American conscience |
