abstract: Upton Sinclair Presents William Fox is a 1933 non-fiction work by the American writer Upton Sinclair. Sinclair based the book on a series of interviews he had conducted with William Fox, a former Hollywood film tycoon. The title was a reference to the screen credit "William Fox Presents" which appeared at the start of films. Fox spoke on wide-ranging terms, particularly his childhood and his building of Fox Film into one of the major studios. Much of the book was devoted to detailing what he believed was a conspiracy by Wall Street to force him from control of Fox Film in 1930.
