About The Big Hollywood Studios

In the 1930s and 40s the big studios were closer to factories than to galleries. Each had its own lot, its own stable of contract players, its own writers and seamstresses and carpenters, and a man in a corner office who decided what the country would watch on Saturday night. You can still drive past the gates at Paramount on Melrose and see a bit of that world standing there.
