Auteur theory is the idea that a film holds a reflection of the creative vision of a director, that the director is the author of a film, therefore the films quality is in the hands of the director. It first developed in France when French theaters started converting to sound. This introduced Musicals and "filmed theater" became popular. After the war ended, French cinema took off since American films were banned. These films were organized, polished, but lacking artistic quality.
