Gordon Hollingshead was mainly a producer of short films, so many that he was nominated twenty times for Best Short Subject Academy Awards (and won about a half dozen).
I’ve been using Justwatch to find this to see for this project, and the only Hollingshead thing it listed as available on any streaming service I have was “Why We Fight: Divide and Conquer,” one of Frank Capra’s WWII propaganda films. Pretty straightforward stuff.
No poster for this (it’s a short, not a full film) but I did make this loop:
Of course, after I watched this I looked on youtube and found a ton of shorts he worked on, including this cool one about jazz:
Hollingshead’s star is at 6200 Hollywood Boulevard, which means that in the month I’ve been doing this I’ve gone TWO WHOLE BLOCKS! Eleven more unseen movies (and way more already-seen ones) until I get to Hollywood & Vine!
