Book

Once upon a time in Hollywood / Juliette Michaud ; foreword by Michel Hazanavicius.

Summary:

This spectacular volume celebrates the centennial of Hollywood's first feature-length movie, directed by Cecil B. DeMille in 1914. Featuring 350 photographs and more than 600 films, it explores the iconic genres, from musicals to westerns, and traces the history of Hollywood productions, from groundbreaking silent movies to the rise and fall of the almighty studio system, and from Hollywood's participation in the war effort to its adulation of the femme fatale. The text is accompanied by in-depth interviews - many previously unpubished- with cinematic legends, including Mickey Rooney, Shirley MacLaine, Kirk Douglas, and Julie Andrews. --p.4 of cover.
