Abstract:
Using Paramount Pictures as a case study, this program looks at the "factory system" perfected by major film studios in 1930s Hollywood. By the 1950s a new Hollywood emerged owned by huge corporations interested primarily in profit. Charlton Heston and Harrison Ford and others discuss the conflict between industry and artistry and the challenges facing studios today. Part 8 traces Hollywood's initial fear of television and how a new era of motion picture entertainment grew out of the advent of TV and also how television was influenced by the movies.
