Summary: A systematic history of the American movie industry, consisting of previously published and especially commissioned essays on important events, trends, people, developments, products, and influences.Summary: Upon its original publication in 1976, The American Film Industry was welcomed by film students, scholars, and fans as the first systematic and unified history of the American movie industry. Now this indispensable anthology has been expanded and revised to include a fresh introductory overview by editor Tino Balio and ten new chapters -- written specifically for this edition -- that explore such topics as the growth of exhibition as big business, the mode of production for feature films, the star as market strategy, and the changing economics and structure of contemporary entertainment companies. The result is a unique collection of essays, more comprehensive and current than ever, that reveals how the American movie industry really worked in a century of constant change -- from kinetoscopes and the coming of sound to the star system, 1950's blacklisting, and today's corporate empires.--Back cover.
