Why read it?
1 author picked Hollywood Down Under as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I really enjoyed reading this book on the development of Australian film culture and history from the silent cinema to the talkies. Diane Collins looks at unexamined areas of this history, including audiences, marketing, and distribution, and even has a chapter about how picture palaces used to have live music at every screening.
This is an engagingly written account that provides important context for any consideration of Australian cinema history.
From Josephine's list on The best books about the history of Australian cinema.
