Episode 254-Hollywood and the Movies of the Fifties with Foster Hirsch

In this episode I spoke with author Foster Hirsch about his book "Hollywood and the Movies of the Fifties: The Collapse of the Studio System, the Thrill of Cinerama, and the Invasion of the Ultimate Body Snatcher - Television".  A fascinating look at Hollywood’s most turbulent decade and the demise of the studio system—set against the boom of the post-World War II years, the Cold War, and the atomic age—and the movies that reflected the seismic shifts.
