The advent of color, big musicals, the studio system, and the beginning of institutionalized censorship made the 1930s the defining decade for Hollywood. The year 1939, celebrated as "Hollywood's greatest year," saw the release of such memorable films as <EM>Gone With The Wind, The Wizard Of Oz</EM>, and <EM>Stagecoach</EM>. It was a time when the studios exercised nearly absolute control over their product as well as over such stars as Bette Davis, Clark Gable, and Humphrey Bogart. In this fifth volume of the award-winning series History of the American Cinema, Tino Balio examines every aspect of the filmmaking and film exhibition system as it matured during the Depression era.

This series should become a standard reference source in every U.S. Library -- CHOICE

The amount of fascinating information that has not been seen before is generous...What a story! And what a story to come...I can't wait for the sequels. -- The New York Times Book Review (Volumes 1,2 and 3)

Undoubtedly and deservedly, the Scribner's volumes will become the standard reference works for the history of American film.  --Film Quarterly (Volumes 1-3)

There's no doubt that these books will find use in college libraries across the nation. -- Booklist
