- Ethics and social criticism in the Hollywood films of Erich von Stroheim, Ernst Lubitsch, and Billy Wilder Westport, Conn. : Praeger, 2001.
- MAIN: PN1998.3.V67 H46 2001
- "This study of Erich von Stroheim, Ernst Lubitsch, and Billy Wilder focuses on what the common ethical themes in their Hollywood films unveil about the cultural and intellectual heritage of these German and Austrian emigres and their influence on American culture. Aware of the influential power of their films, these filmmakers strove to raise the intellectual standard and the positive educational value of the American film. Brief individual biographies describe their heritage, major influences, and goals and draw connections among the three filmmakers in their preference for German and Austrian literature and philosophy, which focuses on social criticism, ethics, and the problem of identity. Detailed analyses of their individual styles of filmmaking and readings of selected films reveal how they put their philosophies into practice and to what extent they influenced one another. Films analyzed include The Merry Widow, The Wedding March, Heaven Can Wait, To Be or Not To Be, Sunset Boulevard, and The Fortune Cookie among others. By delineating their contributions to the development of modern film, this research explores the filmmakers' impact on film and cultural history." [publishers description]

- George Balanchine, in collaboration with Stravinsky, famously created an Americanized version of Russian classical ballet. Kurt Weill, schooled in Berlin jazz, composed a Broadway opera. Rouben Mamoulian's revolutionary Broadway productions of Porgy and Bess and Oklahoma! drew upon Russian "total theater." An army of German filmmakers--among them F. W. Murnau, Fritz Lang, Ernst Lubitsch, and Billy Wilder--made Hollywood more edgy and cosmopolitan. Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich redefined film sexuality. Erich Korngold upholstered the sound of the movies. Rudolf Serkin inspirationally inculcated dour Germanic canons of musical interpretation. An obscure British organist reinvented himself as "Leopold Stokowski." However, most of these gifted émigrés to the New World found that the freedoms they enjoyed in America diluted rather than amplified their high creative ambitions. Russians uprooted from St. Petersburg became "Americans"--they adapted. Representatives of Germanic culture, by comparison, preached a German cultural bible--they colonized.--From publisher description.

- "The 1877 production of James Albery's "The Pink Dominos" began a quarter-century vogue for full-length farce on the London stage. By the 1880s, British playwrights had invented native versions of the farce, but their stereotyped plots indicate that they closely resemble their French predecessors. Both British and American adapters kept quite close to the original French farces, while making them more morally accountable. Brewster examines adaptations of farce across various national borders and demonstrates that even small alterations to what is essentially the same story can have major effects on the tone and acceptability to different audiences. He pays particular attention to Ernst Lubitsch's "The Marriage Circle" and how it relates to the theatrical version of "Le Réveillon," directed by Henry Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, and other similar productions."

It was a crucial moment in German film history, ending in the departure of Pola Negri and Ernst Lubitsch for Hollywood. This article reconstructs the complex developments surrounding EFA in the U.S. and in Germany. It portrays an ambitious Lubitsch, advancing his career at the expense of his mentor Paul Davidson, who was left behind as 'collateral damage'."

- "The writing of Manuel Puig was influenced by the film directions of Josef Von Sternberg, Ernst Lubitsch, and Fritz Lang. Von Sternberg provides atmosphere and star treatment of women. Lubitsch provides a light comedic touch and crystallization of situations. Lang provides serious looks at troubled characters and also a focus on objects. While Puig has mentioned the three directors, scholars have missed the influences." [Expanded Academic Index]

Dating from around 1916 to 1927, these films are often masterpieces and cover a variety of genres, including satire and costume drama. Lubitsch was an iconoclast and, at the same time, a portrayer of human nature. His work is characterized by exhilarating energy, even when dealing with themes such as death and sorrow." [Art Index]

- "Ernst Lubitsch's transition from the German film industry to Hollywood in late 1922 accelerated his work with romantic comedy. Beginning with "The Marriage Circle," he emphasized quality acting and influenced the creation of the American romantic comedy in the 1920s. Lubitsch worked with many talanted actors but, nonetheless, centered his works around their lead actresses. Whether relying on a broad, pantomimic style of acting or a more restrained, facially-oriented style, Lubitsch strove to tell his stories through visual means and in the process developed a style that utilized the norms of classical filmmaking but remained distinctively original."

German Life and Letters 59 (1), 101-121.
- UC users only
- "This article examines two of Ernst Lubitsch's 'milieu comedies', 'Jewish' comedies set in the 'milieu' of the Berlin garment industry. These comedies have been accused previously of 'anti-Semitism' or 'self hatred' because of their heavy-handed use of stereotype. The following article contends that different audiences may have received these films in different ways, and that the milieu films do not only reflect anti-Semitism and self-hatred. A close reading of Lubitsch's Schuhpalast Pinkus and Meyer aus Berlin, informed by the films' historical context, promotion, and reception and theories of Jewish assimilation, stereotype, and 'camp', reveals a critical potential in the milieu films. The ways in which the milieu films deploy stereotype and humour not only mimic negative stereotypes about Jews in WWI Germany but also criticise those same stereotypes. Moreover, the deployment of stereotype and humour in the milieu films also underscores the failure of German Jews to assimilate fully. Both the style and content of Schuhpalast Pinkus and Meyer aus Berlin expose an incongruity between early twentieth-century perceptions of German Jews being successfully assimilated and the reality that they were treated as essentially different."

- Examines images of Russians in Hollywood film from 1939 to 1990, with a focus on romantic narratives depicting Russians and Americans in love. Traces a pattern of attachment to Russia as a trope that helps reveal the changing and contradictory contours of American myths of nationhood. Such films as 'Ninotchka' (1939), 'Moscow on the Hudson' (1984), and 'The Russia House' (1990) refashion such myths by rhetorically orchestrating structures of society and history, gender and sexuality, and desire and consumption toward the manufacture of a democratic consensus that links the private body to the national body, or the fulfillment of private individuals to the fulfillment of the national ideal.

- "The writer addresses two important aspects of Ernst Lubitsch's film To Be or Not to Be (1942): the film's incorporation of theater, and its examination of propaganda. The film's incorporation of theater--the protagonists belong to a troupe of actors in Warsaw, Poland, during the German occupation--serves as a means for exploring cinema's capacity to create images and its relation to the situations and objects represented by these images. At issue in this study is whether cinematic representation involves mimesis, namely, the process of recording which would respect the integrity of an original, or by simulation, in which the original is of little or no importance. Lubitsch also examines the propaganda and propagation of Nazism as functions of image-production. By bringing the propagandistic aspects of his own films into close proximity with those of National Socialism, Lubitsch shows an awareness that Hollywood is at once a refuge from and a parallel to the cinematic section of the Nazi state apparatus."
