Here, Bill Niven offers a powerful argument for reconsidering Hitler's fascination with film as a means to further the Nazi agenda. In this first English-language work to fully explore Hitler's influence on and relationship with film in Nazi Germany, the author calls on a broad array of archival sources. Arguing that Hitler was as central to the Nazi film industry as Goebbels, Niven also explores Hitler's representation in Third Reich cinema, personally and through films focusing on historical figures with whom he was associated, and how Hitler's vision for the medium went far beyond "straight propaganda." He aimed to raise documentary film to a powerful art form rivaling architecture in its ability to reach the masses. -- Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-280), filmography (pages 281-285) and index. 600 10 $a Hitler, Adolf, $d 1889-1945. 650 0 $a National socialism and motion pictures. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x History $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures in propaganda $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures, American $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures, German $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Nazis in motion pictures. 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402024135.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212015140.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190129010816.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BED17C22840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
