This review is from: Hidden Talent: The Emergence of Hollywood Agents (Paperback)
In Tom Kemper's history of the early years of the agency business in Hollywood, he produces a rare work of scholarship: he makes the history riveting to read. Not only does the book offer a persuasive analysis of the financial and even artistic relevance of agents to the motion picture business, but it does so in a way that makes individual agents like Myron Selznick and Charles Feldman stand out as three-dimensional characters one might find in a historical novel. This makes for a compelling read. I would highly recommend this to academics and film buffs alike. As the "narrative" comes to an end with the arrival of TV in the fifties, Kemper promises a sequel (in characteristic Hollywood fashion) and it would be a book I very much would look forward to reading.
