-"As a reader I am peculiarly, indeed fatally, attracted to the special kind of critical daring practiced by [[Parker Tyler]] in
-''[[The Hollywood Hallucination]]'' and ''[[Magic and Myth of the Movies]]''. This daring consists of two major elements: a willingness to risk overinterpretation of specific objects (the popular films and film stars that catch his endlessly roving eye) and the courage to build on these fragile and transitory creations a towering theoretical structure (a structure from which, it should be added, one can gain a unique view of the way one of our most significant cultural institutions actually works—or used to work at the height of its powers—on us)."--[[Richard Schickel]] in the opening lines to ''[[The Hollywood Hallucination]]'' (1944) by Parker Tyler
