34- American Invasion, Sessue Hayakawa, and "The Cheat"

In this episode we cover just how, exactly, American cinema came to dominate Europe in the wake of WW1. We take a look at the economic practices that facilitated the "invasion" of American cinema onto French screens. We also examine one picture in particular, The Cheat, which exemplifies the technical sophistication of U.S. national cinema, and that film's reception by the City of Lights.If you would like to email me you can do so at historyoffilmpodcast@gmail.comHistory of Film Discord: http...
