EPISODE 41 - “The Death of the Dream Factory” - 06/24/2024 When the early movie studios began to pop up in Hollywood during the 1920s and 1930s, the major studio chiefs produced magnificent films and further advanced the art form of film, but they also created a system where they controlled the supply and demand flow and treated the artists who made the films like indentured slaves. This is the story of how the slaves rose up to end the traditional studio system.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: The Hollywood Studio System: A History (2019), by Douglas Gomery; Death of the Moguls: The End of Classical Hollywood (2012), by Wheeler Winston Dixon; “A Century in Exhibition: The 1960s: The End of the Hollywood Studio System,” August 12, 2020, by Vassiliki Malouchou, www.boxofficepro.com; “Why The US Supreme Court Broke Up The Hollywood Studio System,” February 3, 2023, www.WNYC.org; IMDBPro.com; Wikipedia.com; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.
