A Bit Dated But Still Interesting

From the cover: This book is about power in the American film industry - how the legendary moguls lost it, and how a new young generation of filmmakers came to inherit it. The authors submit that social changes in America - and not just the advent of television - were the true cause of Hollywood's decline and tell how the movie brats - the first film school graduates and movie buffs to gain real power in the industry - took over the demoralized Hollywood of the 1960s and 1970s. Contents: Francis Coppola, George Lucas, Brian DePalma, John Milius, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Spielberg. Fascinating!
