This full colour, impressively weighty biography, concentrates on the lengthy movie career of Ronald Reagan; a first career, founded in an explosive era that generated such powerful Presidential politics two decades later. Sadly, Reagan's diverse collection of films tends to be scoffed at by the scholarly, and they are today largely ignored, obscured behind his later political achievements. But, for those wanting to understand what made this charismatically popular President of the United States of America tick, his Hollywood years must be looked at in depth. For it was there he learned the actor's skills that allowed the politician to communicate so effectively. The unusually close relationships he was later able to forge with world leaders and the American public makes little sense without the framework of their development. He was a major Hollywood player. He starred in some classic film contributions. He enjoyed the company of some of the day's favourite leading female stars; he married two of them. He worked with top producers and directors. From his very early days as a film star, he was deeply involved in Hollywood's politics, and his broad-smiling affability and silky voice hid the steel that would lead him right to the top. Loaded with stills, detailed movie production notes, synopses, financial records and reviews.

Ronald Reagan was one of the most powerful and popular American presidents. The key to understanding his political success and the remarkable likability and effortless charisma that made it possible is hidden in his early years as a Hollywood movie star. Other biographers and Reagan in his two memoirs have skimmed over the thirty years he spent as an actor, union activist, and ladies’ man. Now, for the first time, in this highly entertaining and provocative new work, acclaimed film critic and historian Marc Eliot reveals the truth of those formative years and presents a far different and infinitely more detailed portrait of Reagan than ever before. Based on original research and never-before-published interviews, documents, and other materials, Eliot sheds new light on Reagan’s film and television work opposite some of the most talented women of the time, including Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, and Ginger Rogers; his starlet-strewn bachelor days when his name was linked with Lana Turner and Susan Hayward; his first, rocky marriage to actress Jane Wyman and his career-making second marriage to Nancy Davis; his controversial eight years as the president of the Screen Actors Guild; his friendships with Jimmy Stewart and William Holden; his place in the “Irish Mafia” alongside Pat O’Brien, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, and Errol Flynn; and the crucial role of super-agent Lew Wasserman, who was instrumental in developing the persona that would prove essential to Reagan’s future as a world leader. Set against the glamorous and often combative background of Hollywood’s celebrated Golden Age, Eliot’s biography provides an exceptionally nuanced examination of the man and uncovers the startling origins of the legend.

The former special advisor and press secretary to President Ronald Reagan shares a “sentimental but often revealing…enjoyable walk down Memory Lane” (Kirkus Reviews)—told through the movies he watched with the Reagans every week at Camp David. Over the course of eight years, Mark Weinberg travelled to Camp David with Ronald and Nancy Reagan as they screened movies on Friday and Saturday nights. They watched movies in times of triumph, such as the aftermath of Reagan’s 1984 landslide, and after moments of tragedy, such as the explosion of the Challenger and the shooting of the President and Press Secretary Jim Brady. Weinberg’s unparalleled access offers a rare glimpse of the Reagans—unscripted, relaxed, unburdened by the world, with no cameras in sight. Each chapter discusses a legendary film, what the Reagans thought of it, and provides warm anecdotes and untold stories about his family and the administration. From Reagan’s pranks on the Secret Service to his thoughts on the parallels between Hollywood and Washington, Weinberg paints a full picture of the president The New Yorker once famously dubbed “The Unknowable.” A “meander through a simpler time capturing a different time and a different president” (USA TODAY), Movie Nights with the Reagans is a nostalgic journey through the 1980s and its most iconic films, seen through the eyes of one of Hollywood’s former stars: one who was simultaneously transforming the Republican Party, the American economy, and the course of the Cold War. “For those equally enthused about movies and the fortieth president, this book will serve as a welcome change from today’s political climate” (Publishers Weekly).

When Ronald Reagan arrived in Hollywood in the latter part of May1937 to begin his film career, it was like being cast in an epic film noir project with a DeMille cast of thousands, without having read the script, or met or known any of the principals in the project. Because of political corruption, labor racketeering, an out of control Police Department, and violent crime, writers referred to Los Angeles as the "unholy city." Much of this dark side of Los Angeles played out in the film industry and on Hollywood Boulevard. This story traces back to the early 1930s when two small time Chicago hoodlums, Willie Bioff and George Browne, formed a partnership that would shake up the film industry, give the old moguls who dominated Hollywood ulcers, and provoke labor disturbances that ultimately would lead to the blacklist years of the 1950s. Bioff was a street hustler who worked as a Teamster slugger-dues collector, maintained a brothel and sold protection to kosher chicken dealers in Chicago´s Fulton Market area. For this latter activity in 1933 the Chicago police department listed Bioff as a public enemy. Browne was a business agent of Chicago Stagehands Local 2. He had risen to this job by early on showing willingness to use a blackjack on nonconforming stagehands. As a sideline, Browne sold protection to gentile chicken dealers in the Fulton Market area. When these two met, instead of fighting over territorial rights, they formed a partnership to share equally income derived from whatever source. Their first big score was a $20,000 bribe from the Balaban and Katz Theater operators in lieu of a pay raise for members of Stagehands Local 2. When Frank Nitti, nominal head of the Capone gang with Al Capone in jail for income tax fraud, learned of B&B´s operation, he offered to back Browne for president of the stagehands´ union, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE). Nitti assured them that a national network of gangsters and hoodlums would guarantee Browne´s election. B&B readily accepted the offer. At IATSE´s convention in June 1934 Nitti´s hoodlums dictated the election of officers to IATSE´s General Executive Board, with Browne ascending to the presidency. Nitti then laid out a master plan to seize control of all Hollywood employees. During these years, Reagan was highly visible about town (Des Moines) working for radio station WHO and escorting pretty girls from the Club Belvedere gambling establishment to various events. He got serious about one, a singer whose big number was Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas, but he went off to Hollywood. In December 1935, Browne, following Nitti´s orders, called a strike of Chicago theaters. Projectionists followed with a threat of a nationwide strike unless film producers gave IATSE jurisdiction over 12,000 film craft workers. The film producers, fearing a strike during the Great Depression, caved into their demands. Suddenly 12,000 film workers had to join IATSE or lose their jobs, so they joined. With this leverage B&B levied a two- percent assessment on IATSE members´ annual earnings, $50 thousand annually from each of the four major motion picture companies and $25 thousand annually from the three minor companies. Nitti dispatched Bioff to Hollywood to run the Hollywood unions while Browne remained in New York as head of IATSE´s International Office. Nitti assigned Chicago nightclub operator, Nick Circella, to watch over Browne and West Coast gangster, Johnny Rosselli, to watch over Bioff. Rosselli went on IATSE´s payroll as compensation for his new duties and coincidentally he was also on the payroll of the film producers´ labor negotiator, Pat Casey. Reagan arrived in Hollywood June 1937 to start his career. His first film, Love is on the Air, had him playing the role of a crusading radio reporter against crime and corruption, a role inconsistent with his lifestyle in Des Moines where he frequented bootlegging and gambling establishments.
