Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com
Hailed as the definitive work upon its original publication in 1975 and now extensively revised and updated by the author, this vastly absorbing and richly illustrated book examines film as an art form, technological innovation, big business, and shaper of American values. 80 black-and-white photos.
wow
| Customer Rating: | | Sklar has combined 100 years of film and history to present a cultural portrait of the United States. |
Out there
| Customer Rating:  | | I have only read the first 3 or 4 chapters so far, but the editor has no linear stream of conciousness. He meanders along in his thought process with no logical structure in mind. Interesting take on the history of American movies. |
A Grand Discourse on Filmdom and Society.
| Customer Rating: |
The author shows how movies not only reflect our society but influence it as well.
Are you a film buff, a history buff, or both?
Then this book will fascinate you from start to finish.

Interesting Course Reading
| Customer Rating: | | This is a great book that was required reading for Steven Ross' "Film, Power, and American, History" course at USC. Not only was it very relevant and well organized, but genuinely interesting too! |
Great Classic work
| Customer Rating: | | This is a must read in the social and cultural history of American cinema. |
