Review

"This valuable resource will benefit a wide range of film students and scholars. Highly recommended for fans of Hollywood history and those with an interest in the 'business' side of creativity." (Library Journal)

"This addition to the 'Behind the Silver Screen' series brings together seven film scholars whose deft use of history and narrative reveal practical realities behind the amorphous, enigmatic role of the film producer in the US." (CHOICE)

"From Samuel Arkoff to Adolph Zukor, Producing gives us a model for examining this most misunderstood position in the movie hierarchy, and for analyzing the history and historiography of executive labor in Hollywood." (Eric Smoodin author of Regarding Frank Capra)

"Producing is an invaluable contribution to film studies – and to American film history – that sheds some serious light on the single most undervalued and misunderstood role in Hollywood filmmaking." (Thomas Schatz author of The Genius of the System)
