Abstract
This article, carrying on from the analysis of the thirties begun in Film Quarterly for Fall 1976, describes technical developments that had a visible effect on films of the forties. It also examines certain independent formal trends, particularly that toward the long take, and provides new information on "reverse-angle" cutting, about which debate has been going on in France, England, and the US.
