Reviews

"James Morrison's Passport to Hollywood is a superb examination of the American films of some of the most gifted European cineastes. Using such classic films as Scarlet Street, This Land is Mine, and more recent works such as Petulia, Morrison demonstrates the ways in which the concerns of such disparate directors as Lang, Renoir, Lester, Murnau, and Forman found expression within the Hollywood cinema, enriching both the cinema of America, as well as demonstrating to others what films were possible working within the Hollywood machine. Engrossing, carefully researched, and richly detailed, Morrison's book is at once accessible and meticulous." - Wheeler Winston Dixon, author of The Films of Jean-Luc Godard
