Boom and Bust: American Cinema in the 1940s (History of the American Cinema, 6)

Editorial Reviews
Dana Polan, Film Quarterly
"Boom and Bust constitutes an essential background for anyone interested in this complicated decade. . . . By dealing with break and continuity together, Schatz is able to tell several histories of American film: the history of the cinema's recruitment by politics, but also the history of industrial practices that move at their own irreducible speed."
