During the 1950s and 1960s, these Hollywood  migr s directed, wrote, or starred in almost one hundred European productions, their contributions ranging from crime film masterpieces like \u003ci\u003eDu rififi chez les hommes\u003c\/i\u003e (1955, Jules Dassin, director) to international blockbusters like \u003ci\u003eThe Bridge on the River\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eKwai \u003c\/i\u003e(1957, Carl Foreman and Michael Wilson, screenwriters) and acclaimed art films like \u003ci\u003eThe Servant\u003c\/i\u003e (1963, Joseph Losey, director).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt once a lively portrait of a lesser-known American \"lost generation\" and an examination of an important transitional moment in European cinema, the book offers a compelling argument for the significance of the blacklisted  migr s to our understanding of postwar American and European cinema and Cold War relations. Prime provides detailed accounts of the production and reception of their European films that clarify the ambivalence with which Hollywood was regarded within postwar European culture. Drawing upon extensive archival research, including previously classified material, \u003ci\u003eHollywood Exiles in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e suggests the need to rethink our understanding of the Hollywood blacklist as a purely domestic phenomenon. By shedding new light on European cinema's changing relationship with Hollywood, the book illuminates the postwar shift from national to transnational cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Prime\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813562619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813562612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.04w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 84","brand":"Rebecca Prime","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072808874239,"sku":"9780813562612","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9ddb67c-f0c0-46bd-911d-8e38bfccd845.jpg?v=1685444056","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hollywood-exiles-in-europe-rebecca-prime-9780813562612","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
