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. --
