American Movie Audiences: From the Turn of the Century to the Early Sound Era
( American Movie Audiences examines the place of Hollywoo...)
American Movie Audiences examines the place of Hollywood cinema in the everyday life of its spectators from its beginnings to the arrival of sound. Previously, little has been known of early audiences and their response to the films of the day and this book brings together an array of fresh research on some of the key issues. These include the social composition of audiences, questions of ethnicity and class in the Nickelodeon era and how attempts at regulating cinema were justified by the particular and (not always accurate) constructions of cinema audiences by middle class reformers. Other contributors consider the extent to which audiences and other conditions of reception became standardised and the ways in which audiences and exhibitors participated in - or resisted - the process of homogenisation that accompanied the rise of Hollywood.

Hollywood Cinema: An Introduction
(This comprehensive introduction to Hollywood cinema provi...)
This comprehensive introduction to Hollywood cinema provides students and other readers with an account of the world's most powerful film industry and its cultural and aesthetic significance. Taking a broad-ranging approach, the book explores and interprets Hollywood cinema, in history and in the present, in theory and in practice. Examining films as diverse as Rudolph Valentino's "The Son of the Sheik" and Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Total Recall", this text provides: an account of the production of movies under the studio system and after, up to the present; an explanation of how the film industry works, including distribution and exhibition; an exploration of Hollywood's place in American culture and in international mass culture; an analysis of the formal properties of Hollywood movies (including space, time, performance and narrative); and a chronology of Hollywood cinema. Richard Maltby is the author of "Harmless Entertainment: Hollywood and the Ideology of Consensus" and "Dreams for Sale: Popular Culture in the Twentieth Century".
