new publication: Cinema and the Swastika

[Michael McCaskey]

PS:

I'm quite interested in the movie Arnold Fank made in Japan, Atarashiki tsuchi/ Tochter des Samurai. Do you deal with this in detail, by any chance? I have a German book about it, but it was very hard to get. Unfortunately, I have so very many film books that it wd. take some time to find it - to check and see if it might turn out that you wrote that book as well.

With Best Wishes,
Michael McCaskey
