Biography
Originally an export salesman he began to work in film business in 1924. In 1928 he was given commission by the Ufa to build another production group besides the one of Erich Pommer. After his last Ufa production Amphitryon (1935) he emigrated to the UK in 1935 where he worked with cinematographer Sepp Allgeier for Gaumont-British and later joined Alexander Korda's film production. In 1939 he worked and lived in Switzerland. Between 1941 and 1943 he tried a comeback to the Ufa several times, but he was disliked in nazi Germany. 1949 he founded the Carlton Film GmbH in Munich, Germany. For the next ten years he produced films joined by some of his former colleagues, besides others Josef von Báky and Georg Wilhelm Pabst. - IMDb mini biography by: Oliver Heidelbach
