HOLLYWOOD STUDIO SYSTEM By Douglas Gomery Paramount Pictures

Description: This listing is for the hardcover Book with mylar covered dustjacket Titled HOLLYWOOD STUDIO SYSTEM by Gomery Published by Palgrave Macmillan 1985 About this title & Author:Reads somewhat like a doctoral dissertation, Gomery presents a history of the business side of the Hollywood studio system, with particular emphasis on the system's halcyon years, 1930-49. There are chapters on each of the major studios. Gomery frequently emphasizes his points that most money in the picture business was made in distribution and exhibition, not production; and most power resided with the studios' corporate headquarters in New York City, not in the Hollywood film factories. Unlike other histories of the major Hollywood studios that stop at the time when these were sent to separate their production operations, distribution and exhibition, which along with the advent of television decayed produced a to them, this book goes further and reaches modern times. It is interesting to know how they were born, who founded and worked the studies and their creators, all its difficulties, but we should know of those studies now, as Sony is Columbia Pictures, and Paramount sold its catalog to Universal, WB to Seven Arts and all that.Gomery, taught communications at the University of Maryland, and has produced a detailed textbook on the economics of the Hollywood studio system which will no doubt become required reading at every film school. The eight major corporations which dominated the "golden age" 1930 through 1949 are examined in terms of management style, financial stability, labor and production, distribution and exhibition.
