HISTORY OF AMERICAN CINEMA V9

Facing an economic crisis in the 1980s, the Hollywood industry moved boldly to control the ancillary markets of videotape, video disk, pay-cable and pay-per-view, and the major studios found themselves targeted for acquisition by global media and communications companies. This volume examines the decade's transformation that took Hollywood from the production of theatrical film to media software. Some of the films discussed in this volume include: Platoon, Do The Right Thing, Blue Velvet, Diner, E.T., Batman, and Body Heat.

This series should become a standard reference source in every U.S. Library -- CHOICE

The amount of fascinating information that has not been seen before is generous...What a story! And what a story to come...I can't wait for the sequels. -- The New York Times Book Review (Volumes 1,2 and 3)

Undoubtedly and deservedly, the Scribner's volumes will become the standard reference works for the history of American film.  --Film Quarterly (Volumes 1-3)

There's no doubt that these books will find use in college libraries across the nation. -- Booklist

Lost Illusions refers to the mid-1970s derailment of a blockbuster mentality in Hollywood in the wake of Jaws and Star Wars. The 'art' cinema of Penn, Kubrick, Peckinpah, and Altman gave way to the  event  cinema of Lucas and Spielberg...Cook's argument is not new, but he documents it well and presents it effectively in a discussion that ranges from cross-marketing techniques (book and record tie-ins, t-shirts, toys), the shift of studios from production to distribution, and tax shelter deals, to the rise of the agent and gross participation deals...Cook excels at industry analysis. Fine chapters by Douglass Gomery on exhibition, William Rothman on documentary, and Robin Blaetz on avant-garde films round out the book. All collections.  -- CHOICE (May 2000)
