- Synopsis
- Hollywood Genres is divided into two parts. Part I is primarily theoretical, concerned in general terms with the essential characteristics and the cultural role of genre filmmaking. This section does not examine any individual genres or genre films, but looks at the very concept of what might be termed "genre-ness". Part II is composed of six chapters, each of which examines a dominant Hollywood genre: the Western, gangster, hardboiled detective, screwball comedy, musical, and family melodrama.
