This award-winning examination of the American film industry has already been acclaimed as A major achievement in film history, unlikely to be surpassed for many years (American Historical Review) and an indispensable| set (Film Quarterly) that |should become the standard reference work in every American library| (Choice).

The 10-volume, illustrated series considers the film industry from its early roots in the 19th century right up to 1990. It examines the development of film and the film industry, analyzing both the genres, themes and technology that defined each decade and the political and economic background that gave rise to them. Each volume focuses on a separate decade, providing a narrative on the evolution of both the business and the art of film in America. Each volume is heavily illustrated, and ends with several indexes, notes, a bibliography and a variety of appendixes of top-grossing films, stars and Oscar winners, and more.

Eileen Bowser is former Curator of Film at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Review:
"There is no equivalent to these books.. . . When Eileen Bowser says that the term 'movie star' was first applied to Florence Turner, the Vitagraph actress, in 1910, you can trust her as you never could trust the journalistic chroniclers of the movies who relied on second-hand sources or memory."--Kevin Lewis, "Film Culture
