Between the years 1933 and 1939, over 800 Jewish members of the German film industry wouId fIee the Nazis and make their way to HolIywood. Adapting to a new cuIture and homeland, they would 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 Exiles: From Hitler to Hollywood explores the personal and professionaI experiences of émigrés BiIly Wilder, 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, CasabIanca, Sunset Boulevard, The Big Heat and High Noon. |
