"Cook excels at industry analysis."
Back Cover copy
"David Cook's Lost Illusions is an excellent account of Hollywood in the 1970s--a decade of social upheaval around the world and major transformation in the U.S. movie industry . . . . His book overflows with useful data, and his lucid account of mainstream entertainment is nicely supplemented by the special chapters by other scholars: Douglas Gomery on exhibition, William Rothman on documentaries, and Robin Blaetz on the avant-garde."-James O. Naremore, author of More than Night: Film Noir in Its Contexts
