Despite its persuasive power, the auteur theory suffered from one serious flaw. Though the Cahiers critics had an encyclopedic knowledge of cinema, they understood little of the Hollywood System.

In addition, rival princelings lured master craftsmen from each other's shops. It is often easy to see why. The Italian craftsman who intaglio-cut the crucified Christ in rock crystal on one classically simple 16th century pectoral cross incised each...
