The standing of the German cinema in Great Britain after 1945

Mehr zum Buch

Following an introduction to British attitudes toward foreign-language films generally and UK distribution-promotion-exhibition patterns, Lembach (German, Hong Kong Polytechnic U.) analyzes public and critical responses to several waves of German cinema reflecting British national identity, perceptions of Teutonic style, and interest in postwar German affairs. Appendices provide graphic representations of the number of UK-released German feature films by selected years, and a complete listing of such films. Based on an undated PhD thesis in German studies at the U. of Reading. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
