Hollywood in Crisis is a detailed study of the workings of the American film industry during the 1930s. Colin Schindler, looking at Hollywood as an agent of Roosevelt's New Deal and the attempts made by film moguls and movie makers to withstand the political turmoil that threatened to engulf America. Schindler illustrates how the studios and their products, from the glamour of MGM stars and escapist musicals to gangster movies and Westerns, even to the 'radical' films of the Warner studios, helped foster ideas of social unity and patriotism.
Colin Shindler was born in Lancashire and educated at Bury Grammar School and Caius College, Cambridge. He is a television producer and has worked on many dramas from A Little Princess to Lovejoy, and wrote the screenplay for Buster. He is the author of Hollywood goes to War (1980). Colin lives in London with his American wife, two children and the neurosis which comes from supporting Manchester City.
