ONLY IN AMERICA: Program 5. Over the Rainbow: The Story of the Jews Who Created Tin Pan Alley and Hollywood, Part 2
Series: ONLY IN AMERICA: 350 Years of the American Jewish Experience
From: The Radio Foundation, Inc.
Length: 00:58:52
Louis B. Mayer, Adolph Zukor, Samuel Goldwyn and other immigrant Jews created Hollywood----from scratch. They spoke little or no English when they arrived, yet these Jewish "moguls" distilled small town Protestant culture, like Dorothy's Kansas, and fed it back to Protestant America, creating an American mythology in the process. In the late '40s and '50s the blacklist, with its antisemitic overtones, descended upon Hollywood, setting friend against friend. The story is told using a mix of oral histories, archival sound, interviews, and movie music and clips.
Narrated and produced by Larry Josephson.
