Abstract

This chapter covers Gladys Bronwyn Stern’s exploration of identity and nationality in World War 1, her screen writing in Hollywood in the thirties and then her film work in Britain in World War 2. In her family saga, The Rakonwitz Chronicles Stern weaves a semi-autobiographical story of her Austrian and German parentage and her large Jewish family whose fortunes were lost in the Vaal river diamond crash. Her humour and pierrotism slipped into the dialogue of the adaptations of Little Women (1933) and Last Days of Pompeii (1934) as she worked for RKO. In the forties she had a contract with MGM and wrote a screenplay about R.L. Stevenson.
