During the decade, as Hollywood's most powerful studios and independent producers shifted into TV production, TV replaced film as America's principal postwar culture industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis pioneering study offers the first thorough exploration of the movie industry's shaping role in the development of television and its narrative forms. Drawing on the archives of Warner Bros. and David O. Selznick Productions and on interviews with participants in both industries, Christopher Anderson demonstrates how the episodic telefilm series, a clear descendant of the feature film, became and has remained the dominant narrative form in prime-time TV.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis research suggests that the postwar motion picture industry was less an empire on the verge of ruin-as common wisdom has it-than one struggling under unsettling conditions to redefine its frontiers. Beyond the obvious contribution to film and television studies, these findings add an important chapter to the study of American popular culture of the postwar period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristopher Anderson is Associate Professor of Communication \u0026amp; Culture at Indiana University-Bloomington.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 355\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.98 x 6.02 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52710063702323,"sku":"9780292704572","price":69.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/bmhuNHBvKzg4bjVaT0xOZU9zYTF6QT09_143f4f40-0913-420a-b228-0930ff8d8a74.webp?v=1763481445","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/hollywood-tv-the-studio-system-in-the-fifties-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
