This is a detailed assessment of the last days of the 'rulers of film' from Hollywood's classical era. Using rare, behind-the-scenes stills, Wheeler Winston Dixon examines the De Haviland decision, the Consent Decree, how the moguls dealt with their collapsing empires in the era of television, and the end of the conventional studio assembly line to create a compelling narrative of the end of the studio system.
