"The "Hollywood Quarterly was so far ahead of its time it seems
eclectic even today. Contributors to the journal routinely ranged
from those who actually made movies (producer Samuel Goldwyn,
animator Chuck Jones, and legendary costume designer Edith Head) to
those in academia who were at the time only beginning to comprehend
the significance of cinema to 20th-century culture (theorist
Theodor Adorno and a who's who of early film studies: Siegfried
Kracauer, Lewis Jacobs, and Georges Sadoul). This anthology offers
invaluable insight into the early history of film scholarship,
education, and perhaps most importantly, industry relations at a
most crucial time in motion picture history."--Jon Lewis, author of
"Hollywood v Hard Core: How the Struggle over Censorship Saved the
Modern Film Industry
"The "Hollywood Quarterly has a legendary status among film and
media historians. It was an important journal in postwar America
for its trenchant analysis of forms of communication and new media
(radio, television, as well as cinema). An illustrious array of
writers contributed and gave it a visibility and importance beyond
typical scholarly journals. The anthology includes major figures in
the history of film study and also well-known practitioners of the
art of cinema."--Dana Polan, author of "Pulp Fiction (BFI Modern
Classics)
"The "Hollywood Quarterly occupies a crucially important place
in the history of American film criticism. It stands at the
juncture between, on the one hand, an artisanal and (in the best
sense) amateur scholarship, and on the other hand, a fully emergent
academicism. More than any other journal in this country, it
initiates the formal, scholarly study of the cinemaas both an
industrial institution and an art form."--James Naremore, author of
"More Than Night: Film Noir in its Contexts
