JJ H Aug 28 This documentary takes the perspective of the huge contributions by Jewish immigrants in founding Hollywood studios, and the subsequent influence on the fantasy and glamour of Hollywood's version of American culture.

What a waste of food and waste of time on watching a movie See more 07/05/2016 An interesting documentary on the incredible impact of the Jews to the motion picture industry & how the so called American Dream was born. It's rather ironic that America Dream aka White Picket Fence & Girl Next Door is ultimately the brain child of Hungarian Jews. It presents all the original movie moguls who where all Jewish & visionary. It's amazing how cinema shaped American Culture and ultimately the world. Showcases some incredible footage & wonderful interviews. See more 06/12/2009 Very interesting doc (if you're into your film history). See more Read all reviews
