FFB: CITY OF NETS, Otto Friedrich

 

One of my favorite books about Hollywood, Otto Friedrich looks at it from 1939 until 1950. A very particular time because of the influx of Europeans fleeing Nazi Germany. Many of what would be the most talented directors and actors turned up to escape the regime and the war.  Blacklisting figures heavily in this period too. This is a terrific book for anyone interested in this era and the movie business, or the politics of that time.
