In Hollywood's High Noon, Thomas Cripps brings together both the insight of recent scholarship in the field of film studies and the results of his own extensive research to trace the history of Hollywood from its turn-of-the-century beginning through the invention and development of the studio system to its heyday in the 1950's, just before television eclipsed the movies as America's Dominant entertainment medium.

About the author










Thomas Cripps is University Distinguished Professor at Morgan State University. He is the author of Slow Fade to Black: The Negro in American Film, 1900-1942 and Making Movies Black.


Summary

Cripps concludes with a discussion of the collapse of the studio system after the war, due in equal parts to suburbanization, the emergence of television, and government anti-trust action.
