This is the first scholarly history of Fox from its origins in 1904
to the present. It builds upon research and histories of individual
periods to describe how one company responded to a century-long
evolution of the audience, nationally and globally. In the
beginning, William Fox grabbed a once-in-a-millennium opportunity
to build a business based on a genuinely new art form. This study
explores the enduring legacy of F.W. Murnau, Will Rogers, Shirley
Temple, John Ford, Spyros Skouras, George Lucas, James Cameron, and
many others, offering discussion of those behind and in front of
the camera, delving deeply into the history and evolution of the
studio. Key films covered include The Iron Horse, The Grapes of
Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, Forever Amber, All About Eve,
Cleopatra, The Sound of Music, Planet of the Apes, Star Wars,
Titanic, and Fight Club, providing an extensive look at the
successes and flops that shaped not only Twentieth Century Fox, but
the entire Hollywood landscape. Through a chronological study, the
book charts the studio's impact right up to the present day,
providing a framework to allow us to look to the future of
moviemaking and film consumption. Lively and fresh in its approach,
this book is a comprehensive study of the studio for scholars,
students, and enthusiasts of Hollywood cinema, film history, and
media industries.
