At the end of World War II, Hollywood basked in unprecedented prosperity. Since then, numerous challenges and crises have changed the American film industry. Nevertheless, at the start of a new century, Hollywood's worldwide dominance remains intact& mdash;indeed, in today's global economy, the products of the American entertainment industry (of which movies are now only one part) are more ubiquitous than ever.

À partir des archives de la Triangle Film Corporation, Marc Vernet retrace ici l’histoire courte et mouvementée de cette firme pionnière du cinéma hollywoodien et, à travers elle, des premières implantations de studios dans la région de Los Angeles au cours de la seconde moitié des années 1910. Il décrit les mutations décisives qui ont lieu dans un temps où le 7e est en train de s’inventer et de s’établir : course à l’indépendance, passage de l’Est à l’Ouest, du court au long métrage, des entreprises locales aux stratégies nationales, de la lumière naturelle à l’éclairage artificiel, du prestige européen à l’américanisation du cinéma... Illustré par des documents d’exception, cet ouvrage démêle les logiques dynamiques au cœur de la création de Hollywood, dans un contexte économique de forte croissance, et politique d’une grande instabilité. Des années décisives pour l’art cinématographique, qui connaîtront l’émergence de stars prenant leur carrière en main, ainsi qu’une très vive concurrence opposant non seulement producteurs, distributeurs et exploitants, mais également les grands du moment : Griffith, Ince, Sennett, DeMille...

Before he attained notoriety as Dean of the Hollywood Ten-the blacklisted screenwriters and directors persecuted because of their varying ties to the Communist Party-John Howard Lawson had become one of the most brilliant, successful, and intellectual screenwriters on the Hollywood scene in the 1930's and 1940's, with several hits to his credit including Blockade, Sahara, and Action in the North Atlantic. After his infamous, almost violent, 1947 hearing before the House Un-American Activities Committee, Lawson spent time in prison and his lucrative career was effectively over. Studded with anecdotes and based on previously untapped archives, this first biography of Lawson brings alive his era and features many of his prominent friends and associates, including John Dos Passos, Theodore Dreiser, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Chaplin, Gene Kelly, Edmund Wilson, Ernest Hemingway, Humphrey Bogart, Dalton Trumbo, Ring Lardner, Jr., and many others. Lawson's life becomes a prism through which we gain a clearer perspective on the evolution and machinations of McCarthyism and anti-Semitism in the United States, on the influence of the left on Hollywood, and on a fascinating man whose radicalism served as a foil for launching the political careers of two Presidents: Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. In vivid, marvelously detailed prose, Final Victim of the Blacklist restores this major figure to his rightful place in history as it recounts one of the most captivating episodes in twentieth century cinema and politics.
