But while the Warner brothers posed as exemplars of the New Deal in real life and in their movies, they were attempting to reverse Roosevelt's policies within their studio and their industry.Using newly unearthed primary sources, this ground-breaking book examines the bitter and little known struggle in Hollywood and Washington D.C. during 1933 to create a National Recovery Administration (NRA) code of practice for the motion picture industry. But through the manipulation of New Deal legislation, Harry and Jack Warner, along with other studio moguls, sought to curtail workers' rights and salaries instead of bolstering both sides of the labour/management divide as they were supposed to do under NRA regulations, attempting to serve the economic pain of the Depression as much as possible onto artists and craftsmen, not owners or management. With its tales of Hollywood stars and employees fighting to win a fair share of the proceeds of their labour, the creation of the NRA code makes for an intriguing story of financial survival, political intrigue and backstabbing during the worst of the Great Depression. 610 10 $a United States. $b National Recovery Administration. 610 17 $a United States. $b National Recovery Administration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00516404 611 27 $a New Deal (1933-1939) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01036721 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $x History $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $x History $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a New Deal, 1933-1939. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry and state $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Labor disputes $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1933-1945. 650 7 $a Labor disputes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00989929 650 7 $a Motion picture industry and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01894645 650 7 $a Motion picture industry $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027155 650 7 $a Motion picture industry $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027181 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a California $z Los Angeles. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204540 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Traditions in American cinema. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017021351.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A11945C2580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
