8: Follies of 1938, Part 1: Hollywood’s Greatest Year
Category: TV & Film

Description: This micro-episode sets up a topic we’ll be exploring throughout the summer: the films, stars and scandals of 1938. By midway through that year, Hollywood was in such a desperate downswing — and so concerned that Americans were losing interest not just in specific movies but in moviegoing as a habit — that the studios banded together to launch a massive PR campaign to convince the public that 1938 was Motion Pictures’ Greatest Year. It wasn’t.

This episode was inspired by Hollywood 1938: Motion Pictures' Greatest Year by Catherine Jurca.
