Description: From Library Journal Gomery, author of The Hollywood Studio System ( LJ 1/86), again writes about the economic history of the movie business. His thorough and valuable research covers elements like distribution, theater chains, sound, color, wide-screen double features, television, cable, home video, even air conditioning and popcorn. The industry that caters to the society's current tastes also initiates social change, Gomery demonstrates. He makes an attempt to steer film history away from the usual Hollywood-centered, content-based scholarship. In the end he offers no real challenge to the validity of other types of film writings, but acquires a rightful niche that rounds out the extant work. Recommended for special film collections and large academic libraries.- Brian Geary, West Seneca, N.Y.Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
