Carl Rollyson Quote
To study Brennan is also to understand what it took to remain at the very top of a precarious profession for more than thirty years. Through Brennan and his pictures, we see Hollywood in the early stages of the sound era, its ascent to a golden age in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and then its decline owing to the advent of television—a technological innovation as formidable and threatening as sound had been to silent film in the late 1920s.
