“Paul Fischer’s The Last Kings of Hollywood reads as a tragedy rather than a triumph. The title of this epochal tale is a bit misleading; Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg (as documented in plentiful detail by the author) all respected, fought, and bent to Hollywood. This is a story that follows shoguns and warlords allying, betraying, and battling against one another. Each carrying away ever more impressive victories at the box office, building their fiefdoms, yet at the height of their powers, they nevertheless had to yield to the chrysanthemum thrones of Paramount, Universal, Warner Bros., and Fox. Left is one winner, or winning tactic: money power.” (04/10/26)
