    • Abstract:
      Foreign trade is the most important phase of American motion picture industry. Of all the major industries in the U.S., the film industry depends on foreign markets for its profits probably more than any other. Over 30 per cent of the gross revenues from all sources on American films come from outside the U.S. and in the case of certain individual companies this percentage total runs even higher. Europe has always been the best customer of the U.S. for motion pictures and will probably hold this position for some time to come.
