Theatrical Release Information | See Details About All Versions
Originally produced for PBS, the American Cinema series examines at length what is probably the leading American art form: film. Chock-full of clips from important films and interviews with the men and women who made them, each episode is an in-depth look at an important facet of the history of American film. This particular episode examines the studio system in the golden age of Hollywood movies. For a long period of time, Hollywood was run by three or four major film studios. Having squeezed out the independent producers, these studios were free to impose their idea of what a movie should be on the viewing public. Paramount Pictures is used as a case study. ~ Rob Ferrier, All Movie Guide
