Is this a joke? Lacey, go to your teacher/professor with your homework questions? Or try Wikipedia…

This is not a joke, I was just as confused as you. I actually found an answer to this question if you’re interested:

When hollywood got a better grasp on filming and recording, they developed a

routine or method to follow to make a film. so the idea is that hollywood would make movies using the ‘assembly line’ method. (Which was used by Henry Ford). casablanca was also tied into this. around the time casablanca was
made, hollywood was churning out so many movies, they didnt much care
who directed it, they just got some one who would follow the technical
aspect (assembly line method) to the letter. thats why casablanca is
supposed to be the example of a technically sound movie in just about
everyway.

So in short, Henry Ford contributed the idea of the assembly line method, which, at that time, Hollywood ended up taking on.
(I don’t know why this reply is coming out so broken up, I’m not typing it this way… oh well)

Henry Ford was a racist anti-Semitic fascist pig.

When you try to ask people to do your homework, try to be subtle.

And it’s a trick question, he didn’t contribute anything.
