Reviews

This stimulating collection energetically revisits and frequently revises the history of Hollywood's political engagements during the height of its cultural influence in the 1930s, offering new insights into the responses of writers, stars, moguls and distributors to the Depression and New Deal,
and their expression in some of the decade's most memorable movies. -- Professor Richard Maltby, Flinders University
