West German cinema of the 1960s is frequently associated with the
emergence of a new generation of filmmakers, collectively known by
the 1970s as the "New German Cinema." Yet for domestic and
international audiences at the time, German cinema primarily meant
popular genres such as exotic adventure films, Gothic crime
thrillers, westerns, and sex films, which were dismissed by German
filmmakers and critics of the 1970s as "Daddy's Cinema."
International Adventures provides the first comprehensive account
of these genres, and charts the history of the West German film
industry and its main protagonists from the immediate post-war
years to its boom period in the 1950s and 1960s. By analyzing film
genres in the context of industrial practices, literary traditions,
biographical trajectories, and wider cultural and social
developments, this book uncovers a forgotten period of German
filmmaking that merits reassessment. International Adventures
firmly locates its case studies within the wider dynamic of
European cinema. In its study of West German cinema's links and
co-operations with other countries including Britain, France, and
Italy, the book addresses what is perhaps the most striking
phenomenon of 1960s popular film genres: the dispersal and
disappearance of markers of national identity in increasingly
international narratives and modes of production.
