Abstract

There are no shortcuts to film scholarship, and no magic potions from Paris with all the secret ingredients of truth and beauty. Similarly, auteurism can be understood only in terms of its own historical coordinates, namely Crowther and Kracauer as the Power and the Glory of social significance in film criticism and scholarship.
