The New Deal introduced sweeping social, political and cultural change across the United States, which Hollywood embraced enthusiastically. Then, when the heady idealism of the 1930s was replaced by the paranoia of the postwar years, Hollywood became an easy target for the anticommunists. A Divided World examines some of the important programs of the New Deal and the subsequent response of the film community - especially in relation to social welfare, women''s rights and international affairs. The book also provides an analysis of the major works of three European directors - Billy Wilder, Ernst Lubitsch and Fritz Lang - compared and contrasted with the products of mainstream Hollywood. This is a new interpretation of an influential period in American film history and it is sure to generate further debate and scholarship.
