Hollywood's Overseas Cammpaign is a history of how the American
film industry succeeded in dominating the film markets of Canada
and Great Britain in the period 1920-1950. Written in three parts,
the book shows how well organized and effective the American
industry was overseas, addressing Hollywood operations in Canada
and various unsuccessful official attempts to curb them, and in
Great Britain where legislation was enacted to control them,
achieving some but by no means complete success. The study deals
with the complexity of the situation in the United States, where
the film industry coped with internal divisions, hostile pressure
groups, and ambivalent administrations and shows that the secret of
success is in the mastery of organization and supply.
