Summary
«The movie was born in the laboratory and reared in the counting-house. It is a benevolent monster of four I's: Inventor, Investor, Impresario, Imperialist.» So begins Harry Alan Potamkin's The Eyes of the Movie, a posthumously published indictment of Hollywood. It is a savage socialist critique of the film industry, its practices, and products. Potamkin takes aim at the «conservative element» infiltrating Hollywood's dream factory, investigating mainstream cinema's double function as propaganda and «passing amusement.» (Summary by ChuckW)
