This selection of essays taken from "Hollywood Quarterly" reflect the astonishing eclecticism of the journal, with sections on animation, the avant-garde, and documentary to go along with a representative sampling of articles about feature-length narrative films.

Trade Review
"Hollywood Quarterly was so far ahead of its time it seems eclectic even today. Contributors to the journal routinely ranged from those who actually made movies...to those in academia who were at the time only beginning to comprehend the significance of cinema to 20th Century culture.... This anthology offers invaluable insight into the early history of film scholarship, education and perhaps most importantly, industry relations at a most crucial time in motion picture history."-Jon Lewis, author of Hollywood vs. Hard Core
