Hollywood went through many changes between 1955 and 1967. The once prosperous film studios faced reinvention and finding new ways to produce revenue. The monopoly studios had over the movie industry ended with the enforcement of the antitrust lawsuit against Paramount Pictures and seven other major Hollywood studios. This decision changed old Hollywood as it was once known and helped the growth of a young television industry. The popularity and convenience of television resulted in a decline in movie attendance and studios suffered financially (p. 233).

Regardless of the barriers that plague the industry or the other mediums emerging, the film industry continues to have a special place in the hearts of many today. The film industry sparked a change in culture and society dating back to when it first started in the 1920s. There were a large number of people going to the movie theaters during this time, more people even went to the movie theater than the church on Sundays during this time (Weinbrenner 2011).
