Hollywoodism: Jews, Movies and the American Dream

USA, 1997, Feature Documentary, 98 minutes, director Simcha Jacobovici

This compelling documentary presents the history of Hollywood as it has never been seen before: Hollywood as the most successful ideology of the 20th century, created by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. It chronicles the amazing success story of the half-dozen individuals who created the movie industry studio system and became the moguls of Hollywood during its Golden Age.  Highlights include archival footage, interviews, and commentary on these leaders, including Adolph Zukor, founder of Paramount; Carl Laemmle, founder of Universal; Jack and Samuel Warner, founders of Warner Bros.; Louis B. Mayer, founder of MGM; William Fox, head of 20th Century-Fox; and Harry Cohn, who ran Columbia Pictures.
