Selling Hollywood to the World: U.S. and European Struggles for Mastery of the Global Film Industry, 1920–1950. By John Trumpbour. (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2002. xviii, 378 pp. $75.00, ISBN 0-521-65156-5.)

The dominant position that the American film industry achieved in the early 1920s and its maintenance of that dominance in the following decades have been the subject of several studies in recent years, among them Kristin Thompson's Exporting Entertainment: America in the World Film Market, 1907–34 (1985) and Ian Jarvie's Hollywood's Overseas Campaign: The North Atlantic Movie Trade, 1920–1950 (1992). Consequently, Selling Hollywood to the World does not deal with a new subject, but John Trumpbour's book explores several new aspects of the often contentious relationship between American film exporters and their European markets.
