Kristin Thompson's study focuses on Lubitsch's silent films from the years between 1918 and 1927, tracing the impact this director had on consolidating classical Hollywood filmmaking. She gives a new assessment of the stylistic two-way traffic between the American and the German film industries, after World War I each other's strongest rival in Europe."--BOOK JACKET.Thompson, Kristin is the author of 'Herr Lubitch Goes To Hollywood German and American Film After World War I', published 2006 under ISBN 9789053567081 and ISBN 9053567089.
