£8 £8Marking the launch of Iwan Morgan and Philip Davies (eds.) Hollywood and the Great Depression: American Film, Politics, and Society in the 1930s, we examine how Hollywood underwent greater change in the 1930s than in any other decade in its history.
An industry that was already grappling with the expense of new sound technology was faced with a financial crisis of unprecedented proportions as a result of the Great Depression. This event explains how the studio system adapted to the challenges of the early 1930s and explores how the movies it produced reflected the economic, political, and international issues of the Great Depression era.
Hollywood and the Great Depression: American Film, Politics, and Society in the 1930s is published by Edinburgh University Press, 2016.
Sponsored by the Eccles Centre for American Studies at the British Library
