This paper will discuss the impact of Hollywood films on Shanghai culture and the Chinese film industry. American films dominated the market until shortly after the revolution in 1949. In the 1930's film production in Shanghai was influenced by the leftist movement and American films were both a target for criticism and emulation. In competition for the audience Chinese film companies faced the monopoly of Hollywood distributors as well as the popularity of American films among the audience and censorship of local films. In 1949, the Communist government took steps to replace American films with Soviet and Chinese productions but were faced with the problem of supplying the market sufficiently. As American and Chinese relations deteriorated further with the onset of the Korean War, the era of Hollywood domination in the Shanghai market finally ended. After an absence of three decades American films were re-introduced to China in the period of economic reform.

520 $a This thesis argues that the history of the Hollywood presence in Shanghai influenced the audience and the film industry in a variety of ways, often complex and contradictory. A number of issues are raised that elucidate the political, economic and cultural impact of American films in Shanghai from a historical perspective. Furthermore, it also suggests that the approach to American and other Western media in the contemporary era is reflected in the historical experience.
