Rubble Films: German Cinema In Shadow Of Third Reich

by Robert R. Shandley

At the end of World War II, Germany was a broken nation. This work offers a close look at German cinema in the immediate postwar era, and an examination of its relationship to the Allied occupation. Robert R. Shandley reveals how German film borrowed - both literally and figuratively - from its Nazi past, and how the occupying powers (specifically the United States) used their position as victors to open Europe to Hollywood movie products and aesthetics.
