Hollywood''s High Noon - Moviemaking and Society Before Television

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.
