They include films from genres as far ranging as musical, film noir, melodrama, comedy, and action-adventure. Such movies seduce us with the promise of revealing the reality behind the camera. But, as part of the very industry they supposedly critique, they cannot take us behind the scenes in any true sense. Through close analysis of fifteen critically acclaimed films, Christopher Ames reveals how the idea of Hollywood is constructed and constructs itself. 606 $aMotion picture industry in motion pictures 615 0$aMotion picture industry in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43/657 700 $aAmes$b Christopher$f1956-$0905255 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778973803321 996 $aMovies about the movies$93851601 997 $aUNINA
