Robert Siodmak in Hollywood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798315659730)

Robert Siodmak escaped from Germany to create a successful career in the U.S. as a director.

This unique book traces Siodmak's rise from relative obscurity to highly sought after director in the heyday of the US film noir genre.

Re-establishing themselves several times, Robert Siodmak and his brother Curt, himself a skilled screen-writer, found themselves escaping an increasingly anti-Jewish environment in Europe, making their way to the United States with pennies to their name and little English language.

What followed was a story of grit and opportunity, both of them earning (sometimes begrudging) admiration for their skill at generating profitable movies for growing studios.
