World War II saw the greatest ever flight of cultural and
intellectual talent from Europe. This mass escape from the Nazi
regime saw legends such as Greta Garbo and Igor Stravinsky leave
their homelands and settle in America. Their presence - in
Hollywood especially - enabled the evolution of film noir, and
changed movie-making forever. In "Exiles in Hollywood", David
Wallace profiles many of the refugees, including the filmmakers,
Billy Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock, writers like Thomas Mann, and
actors such as Garbo and Charles Laughton. The result is a rich,
page-turning look at an era, its triumphs and tragedies, its gossip
and hidden facts, and its colourful personalities.
