Hollywood Riots: Violent Crowds and Progressive Politics in American Film (International Library of the Moving Image) (Cinema and Society) - Hardcover
Book 11 of 21: Cinema and Society
Synopsis
At the same time that the House Committee on UN-American Activities was investigating communists in the film industry, vibrant, defiantly political films were being independently produced. Though much has been written on the politics of Hollywood in the period of the blacklist, the political filmmaking in that era has largely been overlooked - until now. Hollywood Riots explores the significant influence that violent race riots in Los Angeles and union strikes in the film industry had on American filmmaking. Doug Dibbern reveals how the movies produced by progressives in the late 1940s and early 1950s recast political events from California's recent past as politically-engaged narratives that were inflected with their own fears of persecution.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The large literature about the politics of Hollywood in the period of McCarthy and the blacklist has largely overlooked political filmmaking during those agitated years. "Hollywood Riots" examines the most vibrant cycle of independently produced political films made while House Committee on Un-American Activities was investigating communists in the film industry. In doing so, it shifts the focus from the politics of Washington to the politics of Los Angeles and from the films of the Hollywood Ten to the more politically complex films of the progressive community at large. Dibbern shows how the movies produced by progressives at the end of the 1950s, including "The Lawless", "The Sound of Fury", "The Underworld", were the logical cinematic parallel to their political and journalistic advocacy fighting the conservative newspapers. In these films they were recasting political events from California's recent past as politically-engaged narratives that were inflected with their own fears of persecution."Hollywood Riots" re-views the work of notable directors like Joseph Losey and Cy Endfield, as well as introducing unheralded political screenwriters and directors such as Daniel Mainwaring, Jo Pagano, and Leo C. Popkin. The large literature about politics of Hollywood in the period of McCarthy and the blacklist has largely overlooked political filmmaking during those agitated years.
