In this work, Colin Crisp identifies recurrent patterns in the fields of character, narrative, and setting in the French cinema of the early sound period, delineating the myths that these patterns embodied. His analysis of similar patterns in film magazines of the day and of the degree of popularity enjoyed by the stars of the day and of the individual films aims to identify those mythic patterns which best answered the needs of the various audiences of the day. This book is in two parts - the first deals with the 1300 films produced by the French cinema in the 1930s, while the second deals with secondary publications of the period that comment on those films. The first part treats the 1300 films as a single global textual system, which returns obsessively to certain types of story, certain types of character and certain types of setting. These repetitions within the system are regarded as markers of the mythic significance of the material which recurs.
