The Sins of Hollywood: An Exposé of Movie Vice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789198593341)

THE SINS OF HOLLYWOOD, written anonymously and first published in 1922, is perhaps the most prominent anti-Hollywood polemic published during this turbulent time in film history.

The author (later identified as former PHOTOPLAY editor Edward Roberts) takes us on a guided tour through the seedy, disreputable, thoroughly indecent underworld that lurks beneath Hollywood's glistening, glamorous facade. It is a sensational work of moral alarmism that gives us a wild, untamed, unapologetically lurid account of Hollywood's dark side.
