Alfred Bittins

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Richard Paul Bittins (born October 7, 1909 in Berlin ; † November 24, 1970 there ) was a German film producer , production and production manager.

Life

Bittins had attended business school and completed a commercial apprenticeship for three years. In December 1933 he took a job as a production assistant for film.

He made his debut as production manager in 1935 at the small production company 'Delta Film', for which he first had to produce the crude anti-communist Nazi propaganda strip Friesennot . Bittins initially stayed with the 'Delta', but then also worked for larger companies such as Terra and Tobis , without being involved in any really important productions. It was only after the war that Bittins achieved moderate success both as a production manager and later as a production manager.

At the beginning of the 1960s, Bittins was the production manager for some poor comedies for 'Piran Film', before setting up on his own as a producer in the middle of the decade - at a time when the German entertainment film had almost ceased to exist. Bittins died shortly after completing the ambitious TV divider Deutschstunde , a production by Peter Beauvais based on a novel by Siegfried Lenz .

Bittins was married to the actress Heli Finkenzeller . His son Michael Bittins has chosen his father's profession.
