The concept of Hollywood remains fascinating as each generation of movie-goer emerges. Unfortunately, the industry's historical influence as an art form disappears, while today's stars and their films enjoy unparalleled popularity.
The obligation of today's filmmaker remains in keeping the memories of early cinema alive. Based on Manny Pacheco's award-winning paperback, FORGOTTEN HOLLYWOOD FORGOTTEN HISTORY analyzes the roots of Hollywood's Golden Age (from the 1930's-1960's) with mesmerizing accounts by the actors who lived during this time, and from film historians committed in preserving its legacy.
We've got the motion pictures: Gone with the Wind, It's a Wonderful Life, Stagecoach, and Casablanca. We feature its stars: John Wayne, Clark Gable, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, and James Stewart...AND the hard-working character actors devoted to their craft. We focus on the era's top behind-the-scenes filmmakers: John Ford, Howard Hawks, Dorothy Spencer, and Stanley Kramer. We showcase the genres: The Epic, Westerns, Horror, Comedy, and Drama.
More importantly, we have assembled an amazing array of stories focusing on Hollywood's evolution, the Studio Era's commitment to social issues, and of course, the off-screen lives of everyone's favorite movie icons. We will trace the pioneering spirit of actors, directors, writers, and even the adoring public who clamored for outstanding silver-screen stories. Along the way, we will also address how this influential industry shaped the way we look at diversity, disability issues, political climate, and even today's cinematic responsibilities.
Above all, FORGOTTEN HOLLYWOOD FORGOTTEN HISTORY will remind us why we continue to love motion pictures.
