Book excerpt: A biography of the famed German film producer whose successes such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and The Blue Angel have become industry classics. Hardt traces Pommer's work from the pre-Hitler days of the Ufa studio, his emigration to the US in 1933, his battle to establish himself in the Hollywood milieu, his political struggles as motion Picture Control Officer of the US Military during 1946-1949 as he tried to rebuild Germany's film machinery, and ultimately documents Pommer's survival as one of the major producers of the era. Includes photographs and film index appendices. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
