Dear Monday... #antonwalbrook
MGM bought the remake rights to Patrick Hamilton'play with a clause that all existing prints of the #AntonWalbrook version be destroyed, even the negative, so it could not compete with their 1944 film. While unsuccessful in destroying all copies they did manage to suppress the 1940 film for decades.

Anton Walbrook (Adolf Wohlbrück) was #botd in 1896 so here's a look back at his early life, family and ancestors #antonwalbrook #actor #movies #theatre https://darklanecreative.com/happy-birthday-anton1-2/
Grateful for this thoughtful & comprehensive review of my biography of Anton Walbrook, 'A life of Masks and Mirrors', in Tuesday's issue of 'Buch-Besprechung.'

As #AntonWalbrook was #botd in 1896, here's a short blogpost on how his birth coincided with the arrival of the Cinématographe in #Vienna:

Earlier in the day, there was time for lunch, some local beer, and a spot of photography (using a German camera of course) #antonwalbrook #maxophuls #frankfurtfilmmuseum #filminstitut #bindingbeer #films #wohlbruck #werra #photography
Two years ago today I gave a talk on #AntonWalbrook at the Frankfurt Film Museum, prior to a screening of Max Ophuls' "La Ronde" (1950) in their beautiful little cinema. Since then, I've published my biography of Walbrook & also presented other papers on the actor and his world
Anton Walbrook's life of masks and mirrors was full of ambiguities, contradictions, tensions and inconsistencies, which made researching and writing his biography as challenging as it was appealing
