• Resumen

  • According to this article, it doesn´t make much sense to establish a clear difference between Fritz Lang´s European and American periods due to the fact that the Viennese moviemaker´s entire work obviously follows a common thread. Based on this starting point, the author analyses Fritz Lang´s career in America, looking at the difficulties he experienced on trying to enter the Hollywood industry, his constant changes from one studio to another and even the failure of his own production company. An epigraph to the article makes a detailed analysis of the outlandish tale (probably falsified by Lang) of his flight from Germany in 1933, subsequently going over the director´s two trips to the US (prior to Metropolis and in 1934), his first filming projects and his movies, his period with Fox and his international recognition, while underlining some of the keys to his style and particular understanding of the cinema.
