This book examines the careers of three of Nazi cinema's preeminent
movie actresses, painting a unique portrait of mass entertainment
and stardom under Nazi rule. Bruns uses undiscovered sources and a
new approach, which integrates visual analysis within a thorough
political and social context, to trace how the Nazis tried to use
films and stars to build National Socialism. This analysis focuses
on female stars - an important but largely unexplored area -
because they were mostly responsible for Nazi cinema's spectacular
commercial success and political failure. Challenging earlier
studies, which view Nazi cinema as an effective propaganda
instrument that helped turn Germans into devoted "Aryan" mothers
and tough warriors, the book shows that the Nazi regime's liaison
with the cinema was ambivalent. Films failed to disseminate a
coherent political message and to Nazify German society. However,
they helped the regime maintain power by diverting people's
attention from the brutality of Hitler's rule and, eventually, from
impending defeat.
