Product Description

Review

"Hollywood Cinema is an important book, one to be included in any consideration of American film and its influence in world cinema." Journal of Film and Video

“This updated and enhanced edition of Richard Maltby′s Hollywood Cinema is quite simply the best single textbook on the subject. In clear, user–friendly fashion, Maltby provides an astonishing amount of basic information about Hollywood while explaining how both the movies and the critical/theoretical discourse of film study have evolved over time. The book is not only an extremely useful overview but also an important intervention in current debates. An intelligent blending of formal and historical analysis, it should become essential reading for every serious student of film, whether beginner or advanced.” James Naremore, Indiana University

"In its first edition, Hollywood Cinema quickly became a ‘must–have’ volume for anyone interested in film. Beautifully reorganized, expanded, and updated with features that enhance its usefulness for research and teaching, this revised edition shows how truly indispensable Maltby’s work on Hollywood is to media studies." Barbara Klinger, Indiana University

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and enjoyable intro to Hollywood cinema, 30 Oct 2003
By A Customer
A very comprehensive, digestible introduction to the criticism of Hollywood cinema and cinema as a whole. Maltby manages to create an absorbing and detailed analysis of Hollywood cinema without succumbing to the use of pomposity or rhetoric to dress up the study of film unnecessarily. While justifying Hollywood cinema as an art form every bit worthy of study and analysis, Maltby never looses sight of what cinema (particularly Hollywood cinema) is meant to be: entertainment. It is clear, readable and, most importantly, highly enjoyable. Well researched and with excellent references and notes. If there is a drawback, it is only that it is designed and deserves to be read cover to cover, and therefore it is not ideal as a quick reference book or as a dip-in dip-out read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Downtown Hollywood, 23 Oct 2008
As a University student studying film theory and looking beyond the obvious, I found this book invaluable.
The book even helped me when I visited Downtown Hollywood last year to tour some of the more infamous sites of famous films! For instance N51.12.043-W000.45.529 is a place well worth visiting. Highly recommended!
