Gottfried Reinhardt

Gottfried Reinhardt

Gottfried Reinhardt was an influential film director and producer who bridged the gap between European and American cinema. Born in Berlin, Germany, Reinhardt was the son of renowned theater director Max Reinhardt. Following his father’s lead, Gottfried began his career in the arts, working in theater before moving to Hollywood in the 1930s to escape the rise of Nazism. Reinhardt started in Hollywood as a script reader and gradually worked his way up to producer and director. As a producer, he contributed to notable films such as The Red Badge of Courage (1951), directed by John Huston. Reinhardt also directed several films, including Town Without Pity (1961), a gripping courtroom drama starring Kirk Douglas that earned an Academy Award nomination for its theme song. Reinhardt’s work often reflected his European sensibilities, blending psychological depth with cinematic storytelling. After years in Hollywood, he returned to Europe in the 1960s to focus on directing theater and films. His contributions to both American and German cinema solidified his reputation as a transatlantic cultural figure.

    Film Emigration from Nazi Germany

    Based on extensive interviews, shot on 16mm in a series of static long takes, Filmemigration aus Nazideutschland, is one of the most fascinating examples of "Film history on film" ever produced. Straschek devoted years to researching the topic and accumulating both film and non-film materials. Apart from some radio features and articles, however, this 290-minute TV programme remains the only published trace of Straschek's lifelong work on the emigration of film personnel. He had intended to publish a three-volume book, encompassing all available data about 3,000 emigrants originating from the centre and peripheries of film production, but the book never materialised.
