AB An excerpt from a study that examines the American film industry's efforts to dominate European national cinemas in the 1920s and 1930s, concerns about the suppression of indigenous national cultures, issues of morality and cultural identity, and offers a context in which to situate the problems of the struggle between cinematic America and Europe. The second part of the study focuses on the transition to sound and explores the specific problems posed by synchronized dialogue and spoken language at the time.
