"'It's a racket!'"

[laurel · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good overview/introduction to early Hollywood and the most influential studios and executives of the first half of the 20th century. A little difficult in the beginning (lots of examples in each para), but then it gets more concentrated and detailed after the initial chapters.

[Amicus (David Barnett) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although it only takes the story up to 1969, this is a fascinating and wittily written account of the pioneers of Hollywood. Not a likeable bunch, but definitely interesting.
