Annotation:
After America went into World War Two, it established the Office of War (OWI) Information to help with the government propaganda. Hollywood movie, as the pop-culture centerpiece, was the focus of OWI’s work. Owing to various reasons, a forced and cooperat- ing relationship between the state and Hollywood formed, which would influence the mov- ies produced during World War Two. This paper focuses on explaining the reasons con- cerned and indicates that this relationship is also helpful to understand the relationship be- tween government and Hollywood during the early cold war.
