With the same style and insight he brought to his previous studies
of American cinema, acclaimed critic David Thomson masterfully
evokes the history of America's love affair with the movies and the
tangled history of Hollywood in "The Whole Equation."
Thomson takes us from D.W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, and the first
movies of mass appeal to Louis B. Mayer, who understood what movies
meant to America-and reaped the profits. From Capra to Kidman and
Hitchcock to Nicholson, Thomson examines the passion, vanity,
calculation and gossip of Hollywood and the films it has given us.
This one-volume history is a brilliant and illuminating overview of
"the wonder in the dark"-and the staggering impact Hollywood and
its films has had on American culture.
