"When Doisneau began to photograph the suburbs of Gentilly and Montrouge they were still the tough but spirited working-class communities celebrated in the poetic-realist films of Julien Duvivier and Marcel Carné. But Doisneau caught them just as they were about to change and expand beyond recognition making this book a valuable document that looks unsentimentally yet affectionately at a popular idea of the French working class" PARR & BADGER Vol.1 p.201.

1995réf. 29021Berkeley/Los Angeles/London: University of California Press. c.1995. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dj. nice clean as-new copy no discernible wear to book; the jacket has a bit of wrinkling and a faint paper-clip indentation at the top edge of the front panel. line drawings The first English translation of this report on the movie colony as it was in 1936 when the author on assignment for "Paris-Soir" spent a couple of weeks ensconced in the Roosevelt Hotel and reported on his observations in a series of articles for his newspaper which were later expanded and published in book form originally in French as "Hollywood La Mecque du Cinéma". Although he was a renowned man of letters in France -- a prolific poet novelist and essayist who was no stranger to filmmaking having worked as an actor and assistant director for Abel Gance -- his name meant little then or now to an American readership and although his book was translated into numerous languages the present book is the first edition in English. "Part diary part tall tale the book records Cendrars's experiences on the streets of Hollywood at studio gates and in the hottest bars and jazz clubs where he encountered out-of-work drifters star-crazed sailors and a vast pool of undiscovered talent. His chance meeting with Douglas Fairbanks conversation with Paramount's master makeup artist and ruminations on Los Angeles geography are all recounted in a highly personal conversational style that anticipates the 'new journalism' of such later writers as Tom Wolfe." It's interesting to ruminate on how this book -- widely published throughout the non-English-speaking world -- may have colored the perception of "Hollywood" in other cultures. .
