Description
Ernst Lubitsch (1892-1947) was widely regarded as a giant in the world of cinema. His unique style and contributions to film genres such as romantic comedy and musicals have had a lasting impact. Despite his significant influence, Lubitsch's work has not always received the critical attention it deserves. Joseph McBride's book offers a detailed analysis of Lubitsch's films, exploring their evolution in both Germany and the United States. The author examines the "Lubitsch Touch" - a distinctive approach to storytelling that engaged audiences while navigating censorship constraints. Through a close look at masterworks such as The Marriage Circle, Trouble in Paradise, Design for Living, Ninotchka, The Shop Around the Corner, and To Be or Not to Be, McBride sheds new light on Lubitsch's wit, inventiveness, and working methods. By restoring Lubitsch to his former stature in the world of cinema, this book provides a fresh perspective on a filmmaker whose legacy continues to inspire and influence filmmakers today.
