a. Auteur theory is only a step along the way toward a critical formula
for a medium of popular culture. Historians must share the traditional
critic's wish to evaluate only on the internal evidence contained in the thing
itself, but they also know that films are social creations. They do not emerge
from a lone creator's typewriter; they can begin only if a bank agrees, a
crew shares in production and finally an audience registers votes in the
form of ticket sales.
