About this listen

Hollywood: The Oral History covers the history of Hollywood from the Silent era up to the 21st century.

What makes this book unique from any other survey of Hollywood's history is that it is the history of an art form through the words of those people who created it—from Harold Lloyd to Katharine Hepburn to Warren Beatty to Jane Fonda and beyond, including directors, writers, producers, editors, designers of sets and costumes.

As such, the authenticity of the text is irrefutable.

The material in the book—gathered over the decades by the American Film Institute—has never been published before, has never been heard before.

It is comprehensive—a monument that will never age nor be surpassed.

One of The most Erudite books on the subject of the history of Hollywood

Just simply brilliant and a must read for an cinephile. We get a view of Hollywood films directly from the people who made them. It’s like being in a room with all of them and just watch them go while they disseminate useful anecdotes and eye opening analysis of their time and work.
