Hard-Boiled Hollywood: Crime and Punishment in Postwar Los Angeles Paperback - 2017
by Jon Lewis
From the rear cover
"This book is a fascinating on-location excursion down the mean streets of a metastasizing metropolis and the shuttered backlots of a sputtering studio system, an anthropological thick description of the gangsters, stars, hustlers, hookers, and hangers-on in the lonely place that is Hollywood."--Thomas Doherty, Professor of American Studies, Brandeis University "Where previously Lewis focused most on top-level power plays and money grabs, he now trenchantly probes Hollywood's underworlds: grifters, gossip-mongers, and gangsters, loners and losers--bodies 'left by the side of the road.' A fascinating rewriting of Hollywood history, especially around production culture, including cultures of failure and despair." --Dana Polan, Cinema Studies, New York University
