In this insightful survey of Hollywood films between the World
Wars, the author shows that the increasing proportion of
revenue from foreign markets dictated not only
greater attention to their political, social, and
religious sensitivities, but also influenced the
very form of the medium, e.g., a tendency
toward "action pictures" at the expense of
"dialogue pictures",

Admirably researched asnd clearly written, Vasey's
work will be essential for film students and others
interested in Hollywood's impact on the world, and
vice versa.
