Bathed in soft light, discussed adoringly in fan magazines and shown wearing the latest fashions, these cinematic stars emerged in opposition to Frances traditional stage-based stardom, while remaining, through the roles they played and the looks they sported, a distinctly French phenomenon. The French Screen Goddess examines how these stars influenced the narratives and look of their films, contributed to defining the periods new, emancipated femininity -, the modern woman -, and related to the decades politics, particularly the Popular Front of the mid-1930s. The book focuses on the three most important examples of this type of stardom, Annabella, Danielle Darrieux and Michele Morgan, while also considering many other key stars, such as Arletty, Viviane Romance and Jean Gabin.Previously neglected films are considered and true classics of French cinema re-examined, with Rene Clairs Quatorze juillet, Julien Duviviers La Bandera, and Marcel Carnes Le Quai des brumes and Hotel du Nord foremost among these.
