Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book by Will H. Hays, eminent leader of the American film industry, chronicles the socio-cultural shifts and controversies that shaped Hollywood in the late 1930s. Hays examines the challenges facing the industry, including the tension between artistic freedom and social responsibility. He notes that while audiences flocked to films that addressed contemporary issues, the industry also strove to maintain its role as an escape from reality. The book highlights efforts by the industry to regulate its content and practices, emphasizing the significance of self-regulation and the need for cooperation among producers, distributors, and exhibitors. Ultimately, Hays argues that the industry's success depended on its ability to balance entertainment with social relevance, shaping public opinion while providing a much-needed source of recreation.
