Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of the policies and performance of the Motion Picture Division (MPD) of the Office of War Information (OWI) during World War II. It argues that the MPD was largely ineffective in its efforts to influence the content of Hollywood films, due to a lack of understanding of the film industry, poor leadership, and a failure to develop a clear and consistent policy. The author also contends that the MPD's attempts to promote social and political messages through films were often heavy-handed and counterproductive, and that the MPD's overall record was one of missed opportunities. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the relationship between government and the film industry, and offers insights into the challenges of using popular culture to promote public policy goals.
