Live and act

At the theater

Nothing is currently known about Arno Ebert's artistic training. Since the 1920s he played on stages in the German provinces. Until 1945 engagements took him to venues in Kaiserslautern , Oberhausen , Halberstadt , Baden-Baden , Aachen and Bielefeld . After the Second World War he returned to the theater of the city of Baden-Baden and remained a member of the ensemble there until 1951. Afterwards Arno Ebert settled in Munich, where he was no longer given a permanent stage engagement and in the remaining years of his life he concentrated entirely on working in front of the camera.

With the film

Arno Ebert made his first film appearance in 1936 with the role of a visitor to the Metropolitan Opera in Paul Martin's comedy Glückskinder , in which Lilian Harvey and Willy Fritsch played the leading roles. In Arthur Maria Rabenalt Comedy and Love Chemistry (1948) and its horror science fiction film Mandrake (1952) with Hildegard Knef in the title role Ebert was busy in a respective smaller role. In 1952, he was seen as a detective inspector in Rabenalt's romantic musical film We Dance on the Rainbow . Again with Rabenalt as director, Ebert shot the romantic music drama The Last Waltz in 1953 , in which Eva Bartok and Curd Jürgens were at the top of the cast list. In the same year he was again cast in a film by Rabenalt, in the drama The Immortal Scoundrel . Karlheinz Böhm , with whom he had already worked in Alraune , was also there again. Another collaboration with Rabenalt and Karlheinz Böhm resulted in the 1954 film drama Die Sonne von St. Moritz . Another film from 1954 was the literary adaptation based on Erich Kästner's The Flying Classroom , in which he played the captain and foster father of Johnnylik played by Peter Kraus . In the same year he was seen in the crime drama The Confession of Ina Kahr , in which he met Curd Jürgens again.

In the radio play studio

Since 1946, the ARD radio play database has recorded numerous records in which Ebert is listed as a radio play speaker. With a few exceptions, he worked for Südwestfunk (SWF) mainly in leading and larger supporting roles.

Career completion in television

In the last months of his life, the resident of Munich concentrated entirely on participating in television film productions.
