This is a unique study of the film musical, a global cinema
tradition. The musical is one of cinema's few genuinely
international genres but it has never been studied as a global
sensation. This book fills this critical gap in film studies as it
brings together musicals from 15 nations in order to highlight
running themes. Musicals are often studied as part of distinct
national traditions that are interpreted as native. However this
anthology will dispute previous approaches to reveal the influence
of the Hollywood model in musicals from around the world. It
includes lists of key resources for additional information. It ends
with a coda by Rick Altman, one of the genre's most prominent
scholars. It provides case studies that include Great Britain,
France, Germany, Portugal, Greece, Russia, Spain, Italy, Argentina,
Mexico, Brazil, Japan, China, India, Egypt, Turkey. Coverage
includes Mambo Girl (1957), Sing As We Go (1934), It's the End of
the Song (1930), Downward Slope (1934), The Broadway Melody (1929),
The Hole (1997), Joyful Beginning (1955), and, The Heart is Crazy
(1997).
