520 _a"This book establishes the global cultural and political significance of MGM's 1940 film The Mortal Storm, which exposed the anti-Semitism that underwrote Congressional antipathy to the film industry. Integrating detailed accounts of this fraught political context into the struggles to make the film, this book resets our understanding of Hollywood's complicated responses to the global threat of Nazism. Set among other anti-Nazi films of the period, the story of this extraordinary struggle illuminates the fears, hostility, and heroic efforts of everyone involved in making The Mortal Storm"--
