RICHARD KOSZARSKI is an associate professor of English and film studies at Rutgers University, and the editor-in-chief of Film History: An International Journal. His books include The Man You Loved to Hate: Erich von Stroheim and Hollywood and An Evening's Entertainment: The Age of the Silent Feature Picture.
"This is the definitive history of New York filmmaking in the first
half of the twentieth century—and this is no small story or
accomplishment."
*author of Working-Class Hollywood: Silent Film and the Shaping of
Class in Amer*
"A perfect blend of Hollywood history, film analysis, and New York
cultural history. Richard Koszarski is oneof the preemnient film
historians of our time."
*chair of film studies, Wesleyan University*
"Koszarski's book is both industrial saga and film-buff opium den:
Not only does he include all aspects of film production in New
York, but also television. The author also writes with such fire
and detail about all these films that you quickly forget most of
them are either lost, incomplete, or difficult to see at best"
*LA Weekly*
"This huge, richly detailed revisionist history of the relationship
between Hollywood and New York City from the turn of the 20th
century until WWII is an enormously important, ceaselessly
eye-opening work of Gotham-based cultural anthropology and
archaeology. This book gives back to New York a continuous history
of invention and creativity that, without Koszarski's Herculean
labors, might have disappeared forever. Marvelous, invaluable,
breathtaking film history."
*Directors Guild Quarterly*
"Meticulously researched and richly detailed, this superb book
documents film and, later, television production in the New York
City area during the first half of the twentieth century. Koszarski
covers every imaginable aspect of moving-image production of the
East Coast during this period. The depth of the research is
astounding. Koszarski brings to life a period when much of
television, and even theatrical films, were centered in Manhattan
to take advantage of the proximity of Broadway. A remarkable
accomplishment and an indispensable, accessible guide to the
period. Essential."
*Choice*
"Koszarski offers a massive and intensely detailed study of New
York-based filmmaking in the years between the world wars.
Koszarski shows how New York-area filmmakers drew on a region
chockablock with actors, directors, writers, artists, costumers,
and other creative types."
