The Stock Market Crash of October 1929 threw American society into
complete turmoil. As millions of Americans became unemployed and
the standard of living plummeted, a turn onto the road to recovery
required a concerted effort of government and private industry
resources.
"Hollywood in Crisis" is a detailed study of the American film
industry in the 1930s. Specifically, Colin Schindler looks at
Hollywood as an agent of Roosevelt's New Deal. From escapist
musicals to gangster movies and Westerns, even to the radical films
of the Warner studios, Schindler illustrates how the studios helped
foster feelings of unity and patriotism.
Drawing from studio archives and interviews with such prominent
figures as Henry Fonda, Frank Capra, and even the leader of the
Hollywood Communist Party John Howard Lawson, Schindler's study
redefines the way in which this segment of Hollywood's Golden years
will be viewed.
