Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Motion Picture Industry in War-Time America: 1943-1944 As the hour struck for the new year of 1944, the most momentous period, perhaps, in human history, the motion picture industry entered the third year of its war service. On the home front as on the war fronts, the service rendered by the screen and the promise fulfilled by the industry during the past twelve months were directed primarily toward winning the war. Everything else was chores, in the literal sense. Marching as a unit from the very beginning, the men and women of the industry gladly accepted every responsibility that duty and patriotism impose upon an art which day after day draws millions to the screen for recreation, information and inspiration. More than 16,000 theatres, cooperating under the program of the War Activities Committee, kept their screens open to war messages and their doors open to bond drives and vast relief campaigns without interrupting a continuous service of entertainment. In the best traditions of a free screen, producers undertook to make and distributors to deliver informational films which war unity demanded. Talent in an ever increasing flood kept flowing from the studios to every military base and training camp in our own country and to the encampments and bases of our soldiers, sailors and marines dispersed on many separate war fronts. Leading artists of the screen divided their time between picture-making and bond drives. Leaders of the industry, whatever their field, undertook some activity in one of the many programs developed by picture people for war aid or home relief. Producers and distributors contributed to our armed forces on all fronts a constant stream of feature pictures, retarded now and then only by difficulties of distribution. Every man, woman and child in the picture business sought only to serve to the utmost. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
