Abstract
From 1946 to 1962, the producers’ share of the rentals of US films in Italy was blocked in Italy. The specific use-cases of these funds – both in the film industry and in other sectors – were codified in a series of agreements which involved both governments. For the first time, all six understandings between the trade organizations ANICA and MPAA/MPEA are studied in detail. Based on archival research, the article reconstructs their development and implementation. The agreements, which regulated Italian-American film relations from 1951 until 1962, promoted joint productions and supported the distribution of Italian films by US Studios.
