To access it you go here . When the book was published it was reviewed by Leonie Naughton in a post published here at Screening the Past. Leonie’s final para was enthusiastic.Herr Lubitsch goes to Hollywoodis an illuminating study of the "filmmakers' filmmaker," his influence and place in history.

FILM 77
This is a blog devoted to things of interest to cinephiles. The subjects are randomly selected in the manner of a diary and are somewhat oriented to Sydney, Australia. In the past I used to send out these entries via regular emails but this has trailed off and its best to check here for anything new. You can contact me direct via email at filmalert101@gmail.com
