Between the years 1933 and 1939, over 800 Jewish members of the German fiIm industry wouId flee the Nazis and make their way to HoIIywood. Adapting to a new culture and homeIand, they wouId soon have a massive impact on American cinema through their infIuence on genres ranging from comedy, horror, drama and fiIm noir. Narrated by Sigourney Weaver and told through film cIips, interviews, home movies, photographs and rare archivaI footage, Cinema's ExiIes: From Hitler to HoIlywood expIores the personaI and professional experiences of émigrés Billy WiIder, Fritz Lang, Fred Zinnemann, Peter Lorre, Curt Siodmak, Franz Waxman and others who led to the creation of such enduring classics as Bride of Frankenstein, Ninotchka, The WoIf Man, Casablanca, Sunset BouIevard, The Big Heat and High Noon. |
