Now available in paperback, this study is a major appraisal of the
contributions of German-speaking emigres to British cinema from the
late 1920s to the end of World War II. Through a series of film
analyses and case studies, it challenges notions of a
self-sufficient British national cinema by advancing the assumption
that filmmakers from Berlin, Munich and Vienna had a major
influence on aesthetics, themes and narratives, technical
innovation, the organisation of work and the introduction of
apprenticeship schemes. Whether they came voluntarily or as
refugees, their contributions and expertise helped to consolidate
the studio system and ultimately made possible the establishment of
a viable British film industry. Hochscherf talks about such figures
as Ewald Andre Dupont, Alfred Junge, Oscar Werndorff, Mutz
Greenbaum and Werner Brandes, and such companies as Korda's London
Film Productions, Powell and Pressburger's The Archers and Michael
Balcon's Gaumont-British. -- .
