- Synopsis:
- Nazi-cinema was a state-controlled industry, subject to rigid political and cultural censorship. At the same time, it aspired to be Great Cinema; it viewed itself as an ideological and aesthetic alternative to Hollywood. A German dream factory. Rüdiger Suchsland's 'Hitler's Hollywood' takes a closer look at the roughly 1000 feature films made in Germany between 1933-1945, examining how stereotypes of the enemy and values of love and hate managed to be planted, into the heads of the German people, through the cinema screens.

For Film Historians - Hitler's Hollywood review by KW
Two interesting films covering the production of films firstly during the years of the Third Reich and secondly from the end of WW1 again until the end of WW2. Mostly black and white, some are a bit grainy but the spoken English dialogue and sub titles provide sufficient information to enjoy them.

Two very interesting films. Fascinating stuff. - Hitler's Hollywood review by CB
The narration is somewhat turgid but the subject matter is , as you would expect, really fascinating. Lots has been left out or tantalisingly simply alluded to without being exploited in depth (the work of Douglas Sirk, for example) but there is so much here to look at and think about.
