Foster Hirsch with Hollywood and the Movies of the Fifties
November 16, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
We are pleased to host Foster Hirsch for a talk and signing on the subject of his newest book, Hollywood and the Movies of the Fifties: The Collapse of the Studio System, the Thrill of Cinerama, and the Invasion of the Ultimate Body Snatcher — Television. The work offers a fascinating look at Hollywood’s most turbulent decade and the demise of the studio system—set against the boom of the post–World War II years, the Cold War, and the atomic age—and the movies that reflected these seismic shifts. Hirsch is the author of sixteen books on subjects related to theater and the movies. All the way from California, please join us in welcoming him.
