Hooray for Hollywood, but remember that some of the personalities that gave it glamour and style came from Germany. Actors Marlene Dietrich and Peter Lorre, directors Billy Wilder and Josef von Sternberg came out of a country with a strong film-making tradition. Photo stills, footage, set designs and costumes provide glimpses of the familiar, and exhibits on Leni Riefenstahl's shooting of Olympia (1936) and Nazi entertainment cq propaganda films will impress 'seen-that' film buffs. The museum ends with special effects and science fiction.
