Summary: "As living subjects rather than static icons, studio-era Hollywood actresses actively negotiated a balance between their public personas, film roles, and corporeal presence. The contemporary audience's engagement with the experience of these actresses unsettles the traditional model of narcissistic identification, which divides the off-screen spectator from his/her onscreen ideal. Exploring the fan's desire for a material connection to the performer - as well as the star's own dialogue between embodied experience and idealized image - this book traces on- and off-screen representations of narcissistic femininity in classical Hollywood through studies of stars like Greta Garbo, Ava Gardner, and Marilyn Monroe. Merging historical and theoretical concerns, with particular attention to the resonance of golden-age Hollywood in new media, this book explores the movie screen as a medium of shared experience between spectator and star." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: This concise handbook collects essays on all aspects of the motion picture industry by leading authorities in political economy, economics, accounting, financing, and marketing. In addition to bringing the reader an up-to-date perspective on what is known and what has been accomplished, it includes both new findings on a variety of topics and directions for additional research. Topics include the estimation of theatrical and ancillary demand, profitability studies, resolution of evident paradoxes in studio executive behaviour, interaction of the industry and government, impacts of the most recent changes in accounting standards, and the role and importance of participation contracts. New results include findings on the true nature of the seasonality of theatrical demand, the predictive power of surveys based upon trailers, the impact of the Academy Awards, the effectiveness of prior history measures to gauge cast members and directors, and the substitutability of movies across different genres.

Summary: "FAST FADE is the story of David Puttnam's meteoric rise to the top of the Hollywood heap, and of his equally precipitous descent. It is also a very personal look at the man himself, from young boy growing up in middle-class London suburb, feasting on a steady diet of Hollywood-made movies, to successful producer of small, thoughtful films such as LOCAL HERO, as well as epic, "important" features like THE MISSION. Along the way, Puttnam has made a number of enemies, but he also has made many loyal friends, and he has earned the respect of a great portion of the world's most visible - and, perhaps, most powerful - industry. FAST FADE is an honest, balanced look at the man and his career, and especially his turbulent tenure as head of one of Hollywood's most powerful studios." [Taken from book jacket]

Summary: "HEAVEN'S GATE is probably the most discussed, least seen film in modern movie history. Its notoriety is so great that it has become a generic term for disaster, for ego run rampant, for epic mismanagement, for wanton extravagance. It was also the watershed film of the decade - not for its cinematic qualities, but for its effect on Hollywood and the way movies will and will not be made in the future. For Michael Cimino's HEAVEN'S GATE did not merely fail (failure is forgivable, sometimes even endorsed in the strange labyrinths of the Hollywood psyche), HEAVEN'S GATE did the unthinkable: it sank a studio. Less than a month after the picture's second release, United Artists - the company founded by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, D.W. Griffith and Charlie Chaplin - for all practical purposes ceased to exist. Why? How?" [TAKEN FROM BOOK JACKET]

Summary: "We see Bob Fosse's legacy everywhere--from Broadway to "Billy Jean" to Beyonce;'s moves in the "Single Ladies" video. Yet in spite of Fosse's deep cultural significance, no biography has ever brought him fully to life, unveiling the man behind the bowler hat and the swaggering sex appeal. Now, acclaimed cultural historian Sam Wasson traces Fosse's numberless reinventions of himself over a career that would spawn The Pajama Game, Cabaret, Pippin, Chicago, All That Jazz, and other iconic works of art and earn him Tonys, Emmys, and an Oscar. Wasson traces not only Fosse's prodigious professional life, but his intense relationships with everyone from Liza Minnelli, Fred Astaire, and Neil Simon to Shirley MacLaine, Jessica Lange, and Dustin Hoffman. Through extensive interviews with collaborators and lovers and unprecedented access to Fosse's archives, Wasson also reveals the deep wounds that propelled his subject's excessive appetites--for spotlights, women, and life itself. In Fosse, Wasson's stylish, effervescent prose proves the ideal vehicle for reanimating Bob Fosse as he truly was--after hours, close up, and in vibrant color" -- FROM TROVE

Summary: "A powerful man and his determined son, an internationally famous dream factory where money is no object, and a battle between egos staged on the most lavish playgrounds in the world. This is the inside story of a family torn from within by greed, envy and a blind need to control. Movie mogul Darryl F. Zanuck believed that the kingdom he had built - 20th Century Fox - was impregnable to outside conquest. Little did he dream that the power who would eventually dethrone him in one of the nastiest battles in Hollywood history would be none other than his own son, Richard Zanuck. In the best Hollywood tradition, this drama was played out on a larger than life scale against a glamorous international setting. There is a cast of supporting players that formed a Zanuck coterie - from their innumerable "yes men" to the old man's many mistresses [...] THE FOX THAT GOT AWAY is filled with high drama. It is a story that will not be soon forgotten, and a look at the workings of an industry that never fails to fascinate." [Taken from book jacket]

Summary: Welcome to the world of Hollywood - a constantly spinning cyclone of glamour, money, and gossip where there is no glossary and people play by rules discernible only to those on the inside. It is a world that Lynda Obst, one of the most successful producers in Hollywood today, entered two decades ago as a neophyte and where through resolve, determination, and quick wit, she has been able to produce some of today's biggest movies, including The Fisher King and Sleepless in Seattle. Now in Hello, He Lied, Lynda Obst takes us on a behind-the-scenes tour of her world - onto sound stages with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, inside meetings with David Geffen and Peter Guber, on location in New York City with George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer, and into negotiations over The Hot Zones. She shares what she has learned in over twenty years in the business, about how to pitch an idea, impress a suit, win a bidding war over a hot script, and massage egos, as well as the all consuming issue of how to dress on location, what to say to skittish directors, where to eat lunch - whether in New York, LA, or a town you've never heard of - and most important, how to produce successful, critically acclaimed movies.

Summary: "In Hollywood 1938, Catherine Jurca brings to light a tumultuous year of crisis that has been neglected in histories of the studio era. With attendance in decline, negative publicity about stars who were "poison at the box office", and a spate of bad films, industry executives decided that the public was fed up with the movies. Jurca describes their desperate attempt to win back audiences by launching Motion Pictures' Greatest Year, a massive, and unsuccessful, public relations campaign conducted in theaters and newspapers across North America. Drawing on the records of studio personnel, independent exhibitors, movie-goers, and the motion pictures themselves, she analyzes what was wrong - and right - with Hollywood at the end of a heralded decade and how the industry's troubles changed the making and marketing of films in 1938 and beyond." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: Hollywood is facing unprecedented challenges – and is changing rapidly and radically as a result. In this major new study of the contemporary film industry, leading film historian Tino Balio explores the impact of the Internet, declining DVD sales and changing consumer spending habits on the way Hollywood conducts its business. Today, the major studios play an insignificant role in the bottom lines of their conglomerate parents and have fled to safety, relying on big-budget tentpoles, franchises and family films to reach their target audiences. Comprehensive, compelling and filled with engaging case studies (TimeWarner, DreamWorks SKG, Spider Man, The Lord of the Rings, IMAX, Netflix, Miramax, Sony Pictures Classics, Lionsgate and Sundance), Hollywood in the New Millennium is a must-read for all students of film studies, cinema studies, media studies, communication studies, and radio and television. -- publisher's blurb

Summary: Journeys of Desire offers for the first time a comprehensive critical guide to European Actors in American film, bringing together 15 overview chapters and a-z entries on over 900 individuals in one accessible and scholarly volume. Since the early days of the US film industry, European actors have consistently been a major force in Hollywood. Screen idols such as Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Boyer, Audrey Hepburn, Maurice Chevalier, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Antonio Banderas, as well as scores of more modest players, have profoundly shaped ‘American’ cinema. They have also contributed to the propagation of European types and stereotypes such as the ‘Russian’ and Nordic queens played by Garbo and Dietrich, the French Roues popularized by Chevalier, the fiery Latinos depicted by Banderas and the British arch-villain played by Steven Berkoff, Anthony Hopkins and Tim Roth. Films such as Casablanca (1942), Gigi (1958), Green Card (1990) and Vanilla Sky (2001), among many others, would not be the same without them. Contributions from a team of 70 international experts provide ground-breaking case studies of prominent individuals and phenomena associated with the émigrés, such as the retired Russian officers who played crowds in silent films, the stereotyping of European actresses in ‘bad women’ roles, and the ultimate irony of Jewish actors playing Nazis. Individual entries chart the careers and performances of the European actors – from Victoria Abril to Mai Zetterling – who appeared in American movies. [Taken from back cover].

Summary: "This book is about a magazine's love affair with an industry.From the start, Life and the movies were hooked by each other, behaving by turns like partners or rivals, soul mates or ragged enemies.....we had a wonderful time together. During Life's span, from 1936 to 1972. The movie department filled more pages than any other editorial beat except the focal " Newsfronts"section.....All this is reflected in the book you are now holding in your hands.It is by no means a systematic, conscientious history of Hollywood....We have chosen, instead, to win now the finest pictures in in LIFE's files more than 750 selections, which recaptures both the symbiosis between reporters and reportees and the art that the magazine itself brought to its photographic coverage of moviemaking."

Summary: "Think about some commercially successful film masterpieces - The Manchurian Candidate, Seven Days in May, Seconds. Then consider some lesser known, yet equally compelling cinematic achievements- The Fixer, The Gypsy Moths, Path to War. These triumphs are the work of the best known and most highly regarded Hollywood driector to emerge from live TV drama in the 1950s- five-time Emmy award-winner John Frankenheimer. Although Frankenheimer was a pioneer in the genre of political thrillers, who embraced the antimodernist critique of contemporary society, some of his later films did not receive the attention they deserved. Many critics claimed that at a midpoint in his career he lost his touch. World-renowned film scholars put this myth to rest in A Little Solitaire, which offers the only multidisciplinary critical account of Frankenheimer's oeuvre. They emphasize his deep and passionate engagement- not only with national politics and people's irrepressible need to assert their rights against those who would reduce them to silence and anonymity, but also with a mise-en-scene filmd from just the right angles.

Summary: "It's like a plot from a Hollywood potboiler: start out in the mailroom, end up a mogul. But for many, it happens to be true. Some of the biggest names in entertainment- including David Geffen, Barry Diller, and Michael Ovitz started their dazzling careers in the lowly mailroom. Based on more than two hundred interviews, David Rensin unfolds the never-before-told history of an American institution - in the voices of the people who lived it. Through nearly seven decades of glamour and humiliation, lousy pay and incredible perks, killer egos and a kill-or-be-killed ethos, you'll go where the trainees go, learn what they must do to get ahead, and hear the best insider stories from the Hollywood everyone knows about but no one really knows. A vibrant tapestry of dreams, desire, and exploitation, The Mailroom is not only an engrossing read but a crash course, taught by the experts, on how to succeed in Hollywood." -- BACK COVER BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Monster is John Gregory Dunne's mordantly funny account of life on the Hollywood food chain. Dunne and his wife, Joan Didion, have been working in the movies for over twenty-five years, and have written, rewritten, brainstormed, and developed two dozen scripts, seven of which have been produced. Monster is the candid chronicle of how one of those scripts finally got made into Up Close & Personal, starring Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer. The Up Close screenplay started out as the story of Jessica Savitch, the television news anchorwoman whose history included drugs, opportunistic sex, and an early, violent death. Over the years it was refined into a story that would "make the audience walk out feeling uplifted, good about something, and good about themselves," as one executive put it in an early script meeting. The tale of how this happened is a hilarious saga that Dunne relates with a wicked eye and perfect pitch for the absurdities and savage infighting of the film industry." -- BOOK JACKET

Summary: "Since the earliest days of cinema, the director has combined and controlled all the elements of film-making. His status and independence have waxed and waned but he has always - rightly or wrongly - been credited with a film's success or blamed for its failure. Here is the absorbing account of 140 careers, ranging across the spectrum from studio work-horse to acknowledged genius. The famous director-star partnerships, such as Clarence Brown and Greta Garbo, John Ford and John Wayne, Josef von Sternberg, and Marlene Dietrich, Martin Scorsese and Robert de Niro are all here, as are the unknown but invaluable contract directors, the great innovators, the writer-directors and the rebels. Each entry is generously illustrated with pictures of the directors themselves, as well as scenes from their most characteristic movies. The selection has been made to give a has been made to give a varied and representative view of the director's contribution to the English speaking cinema in general and Hollywood in particular."

Summary: The Movie Game is the first ever comprehensive guide to the industry on both sides of the Atlantic. The book outlines the game rules for the Majors, Independents, Foreign Sales Agents and the European subsidy system. Europe has always been the 'hidden' half of the American film equation. The Majors were built by native Europeans and have always been highly dependent on European talent and revenues. The Independents finance their films through pre-sales to Europe, and many of the leading producers are native Europeans who have relocated to the movie colony. While the American Majors thrive on high-risk free-market capitalism, Europe's media groups are enmeshed in political straitjackets designed to defend the 'national interest'. Quotas and subsidies have herded European cinema into a cultural ghetto from which it is very difficult to conduct rational debate. The MEDIA Programme seems only to have intensified the problem; Inspiration is drawn from the European film-makers who have succeeded in rising above the 'subsidy trap' mentality. The book concludes with profiles of producers such as David Puttnam, Claude Berri, Pedro Almodovar and Luc Besson. They are the human face of the industry and prove that however bureaucratic the world becomes, there will always be mavericks who stand out and make their voice heard

Inside the complex, labyrinthine, unavoidably political world of the movies, those who succeed are not the most talented and intelligent, but the most tenacious and savvy. The films theselves are increasingly a homogenized product designed for mass consumption as the studios vie to create the next blockbuster.

Replete with anecdotes and asides, the book details almost every aspect of the production of a motion picture, including the marshalling of actors and technicians, the preparation for filming itself, the cutting and editing processes, and the not always amicable transactions with distributors and would-be exploiters that follow the making of a film. The final section deals with the art of film comedy: how it is created, what makes it work, and who the great comedians are and why" -Book blurb

Summary: "Who killed hollywood? is a passionate love/hate letter to the film industry. In it, Peter Bart pulls together his best columns from Variety and GQ. He groups them, juxtaposes them, and interprets them, outlining in detail the history and inner workings of Hollywood. This could only be done by someone powerful enough to phone any star or head of studio and have his calls taken on the first ring. In story after story, Bart shows how the major studios haver diverted thie energies away from production of the shrewdly crafted pictures that once made the industry powerful. There isn't, for example, much range or innovation in the movies of salable objects- natural disasters, aliens, dinosaurs, ghosts, monsters, or any combination thereof. All are subjects easily parlayed into theme-park environments, action figures, video games, and clothing lines. Similarly, since Jaws twenty years ago, there's been a very short list of acceptable settings. The 1998 Academy Award nominations for best picture all went to films set in Elizabethian times or during World War II. A few years ago it looked as though Pulp Fiction and other independent films were going to save showbiz. Now independent producers like Miramax and New Line have been acquired by the conglomerates. Who and what will resurrect Hollywood? Peter Bart has the answers." - BOOK JACKET

Summary: "The book looks at the experience of industry workers in film and television production in a variety of social, economic, political and cultural contexts. It provides a detailed analysis of specific systems of production and their role in shaping the experience of work, whilst also engaging with the key theoretical and methodological questions that attach to the study of film and television production. Working in the Global Film and Television Industries looks at film and television production not only in Hollywood and Western Europe but also in less familiar settings such as the Soviet Union, India, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo." -- BOOK BLURB
