Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Hitler and Goebbels all regarded cinema as their most important weapon for mass political propaganda. This revised and expanded edition of Film Propaganda examines the ways in which cinema was used for political purposes by two of the most highly politicised societies in twentieth-century European history. Film Propaganda is still to date the only book in English to compare these two cinemas and examine both in depth. Richard Taylor demonstrates how cinema was brought under political control in each country and goes on to explore the themes and stereotypes projected by the feature films that were produced. In so doing, he highlights the means used by the authorities to condition and control the filmgoer as individual spectator and as member of a mass audience. This process is examined in greater depth in a series of detailed analyses of films selected for their particular political significance, including October, Alexander Nevsky, Triumph of the Will, The Wandering Jew and, new to this edition, the 1949 Stalin cult film, The Fall of Berlin.
