Hollywood Party
How Communism Seduced the American Film Industry in the 1930s and 1940s
Book • 1998
In 'Hollywood Party,' Kenneth Lloyd Billingsley uncovers the Communist Party's strategic plan to take control of the movie industry during its golden age.
Using neglected information from public records, personal files, and Soviet archives, Billingsley details how the Party dominated the industry's politics, raised money from liberals, and conscripted industry luminaries to support Stalinist causes.
The book reveals the Party's influence from the Popular Front through the Nazi-Soviet Pact and beyond World War II, and how their plans ultimately shaped the popular memory of those days despite their failure to maintain control by the mid-1950s.
