Book Synopsis Hollywood TV by : Christopher Anderson
Download or read book Hollywood TV written by Christopher Anderson. This book was released on 2013-10-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1950s was one of the most turbulent periods in the history of motion pictures and television. During the decade, as Hollywood's most powerful studios and independent producers shifted into TV production, TV replaced film as America's principal postwar culture industry. This pioneering study offers the first thorough exploration of the movie industry's shaping role in the development of television and its narrative forms. Drawing on the archives of Warner Bros. and David O. Selznick Productions and on interviews with participants in both industries, Christopher Anderson demonstrates how the episodic telefilm series, a clear descendant of the feature film, became and has remained the dominant narrative form in prime-time TV. This research suggests that the postwar motion picture industry was less an empire on the verge of ruin—as common wisdom has it—than one struggling under unsettling conditions to redefine its frontiers. Beyond the obvious contribution to film and television studies, these findings add an important chapter to the study of American popular culture of the postwar period.

Book excerpt: HOT INSIDER STORIES FROM HOLLYWOOD'S GOLDEN 1950s, TOLD IN TRUE PULP FICTION STYLE. "Elvis Presley and George Klein, one of Elvis's inner circle, pulled up in long black Cadillac limousine style. Elvis was at the wheel. I jumped in the backseat and we took off-three for the road." "The flag was dropped and James Dean, starting from 18th on the grid, shot through the pack balls out, like a man possessed. After a few laps he made it up to fourth place before a blown piston ended his day. Jimmy was turbulent with the situation." "The groove rocked in once more with a churning precision. Like sensual thunder, it shook the room with sexual vibrations. There on the bandstand, like a benevolent Buddha, dressed in Levis and an open neck shirt, was Marlon Brando. He was as cool as a night breeze over Alaska. With his hands in motion he caressed the congas, playing as if willing his adoring flock to follow him into the loving arms of immortality."
