  • Pdf Los Que Pasaron Por Hollywood / Florentino Hernández Girbal, Juan
    Los que pasaron por Hollywood Florentino Hernández Girbal Juan B. Heinink (coaut.) Robert G. Dickson (coaut.) Los que pasaron por Hollywood es el título de la serie de veinte entrevistas publicadas por Florentino Hernández Girbal entre febrero de 1935 y julio de 1936 en la revista «Cinegramas», que ha sido ampliada por el autor para la edición de 1992, la cual incluye comentarios y precisiones de Juan B. Heinink, encargado también de la supervisión editorial. La segunda parte de este trabajo contiene información biográfica del centenar aproximado de actores y escritores españoles que pasaron por Hollywood en los años treinta, así como de aquellos otros que ya no regresaron. Dicho apartado bio-filmográfico ha sido redactado por Juan B. Heinink, a partir de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo en estrecha colaboración con Robert G. Dickson, cuya asistencia permanente desde Los Ángeles resulta imprescindible para desarrollar cualquier proyecto relacionado con esta materia. La edición de Los que pasaron por Hollywood en formato de libro, publicada en otoño de 1992 por la empresa madrileña Verdoux S.L. (I.S.B.N. 84-604-4267-5), no se encuentra disponible desde que dicha editorial anunció el cese de su actividad comercial. Los titulares de la obra jamás han recibido información sobre el número de ejemplares vendidos, ni tampoco liquidación alguna de los derechos de autor u otro tipo de compensaciones, por lo que se consideran libres de compromisos adquiridos con anterioridad para ponerla de nuevo a disposición de los interesados en este apartado de la Historia del Cine, una vez revisado su contenido y adaptado a soporte electrónico.

  • Economic Effects of Vertical Disintegration: the American Motion Picture Industry, 1945 to 1955
    Working Papers No. 149/10 Economic Effects of Vertical Disintegration: The American Motion Picture Industry, 1945 to 1955 . Gregory Mead Silver © Gregory Mead Silver, LSE November 2010 Department of Economic History London School of Economics Houghton Street London, WC2A 2AE Tel: +44 (0) 20 7955 7860 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 Economic Effects of Vertical Disintegration: The American Motion Picture Industry, 1945 to 1955 Gregory Mead Silver Abstract In 1948, the United States Supreme Court declared the operations of eight of the nation’s largest motion picture studios in violation of the 1890 Sherman Antitrust Act.1The decision ordered them to disintegrate their producer-distributor roles from cinemas. The Court believed this would promote competitive practices in a hitherto uncompetitive industry. However, these desired benefits were not entirely reached. Instead, by leading the Hollywood studio system to collapse, the Court also distorted the supply- chain for motion pictures. This work utilizes Coasian analyses of transaction costs to show that institutional integration was an efficient structure for the motion picture industry. It explores the motives to integrate and the benefits it garnered. Having laid this groundwork, it then assesses the effects theatre divorcement had on the industry and offers plausible counterfactuals had the studios remained intact after 1948. 1 Introduction There has been much conjecture over the effects that government intervention can have on industry. The case examined here is the intervention of the United States Judiciary on the American motion picture industry in the late 1940s. Since 1890, the year Congress signed the Sherman Antitrust Act into law, the government has served as the self- imposed overseer that assures the proper functioning of competitive markets.

The Court believed this would promote competitive practices in a hitherto uncompetitive industry. However, these desired benefits were not entirely reached. Instead, by leading the Hollywood studio system to collapse, the Court also distorted the supply- chain for motion pictures. This work utilizes Coasian analyses of transaction costs to show that institutional integration was an efficient structure for the motion picture industry. It explores the motives to integrate and the benefits it garnered. Having laid this groundwork, it then assesses the effects theatre divorcement had on the industry and offers plausible counterfactuals had the studios remained intact after 1948. 1 Introduction There has been much conjecture over the effects that government intervention can have on industry. The case examined here is the intervention of the United States Judiciary on the American motion picture industry in the late 1940s. Since 1890, the year Congress signed the Sherman Antitrust Act into law, the government has served as the self- imposed overseer that assures the proper functioning of competitive markets.
