About the Book

Hollywood Independent dissects the Mirisch Company, one of the most successful employers of the package-unit system of film production, producing films like Some Like it Hot (1959), West Side Story (1961), The Great Escape (1963) and The Pink Panther (1963) as irresistible talent packages. Whilst they helped make the names of a new generation of stars like Steve McQueen and Shirley MacLaine and banked on the reputations of established auteurs like Billy Wilder, they were also pioneers in attracting new audiences to the cinema with films about race, gender and sexuality, devising new ways of working with film franchises and cinematic cycles, investing in bestsellers and Broadway hits, exploiting frozen funds and exploring so-called runaway productions. The Mirisch Company bridges the gap between the end of the studio system by about 1960 and the emergence of a new cinema in the mid-1970s dominated by the Movie Brats.
