"Narrated by the young Thom Moss, 'Civilization' is the astounding story of two young men who venture out at the beginning of the twentieth century to find fame and fortune. A string of bad luck and startling coincidences land Thom and his oldest friend, Jefferson Foote, in the thick of Hollywoodland, employed by the renowned and much feared Caspar Willison, master of the two-reel cowboy Flicker. Part D.W. Griffith, part Erich Von Stroheim, Willison is a man of vision, if not manners and diplomacy. In his uniform of jodhpurs and matching six-guns, he bullies and cajoles his rag-tag cast and crew, all the while pushing the limits of the infant art form of movie making.". As New/As New.
