City of Darkness, City of Light: Emigre Filmmakers in Paris, 1929-1939

The volume is the first-ever book-length study of the cinematic representation of Paris in the films of German ?migr? filmmakers, many of whom fled there as a refuge from Hitler. In coming to Paris--a privileged site in terms of production, exhibition, and film culture--these experienced professionals also encountered resistance: hostility toward Germans, anti-Semitism, and boycotts from a French industry afraid of losing jobs to foreigners. Phillips juxtaposes the cinematic portrayal of Paris in the films of Robert Siodmak, Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, Max Oph?ls, Anatol Litvak, and others with the wider social and cultural debates about the city in cinema.
