Arnold Lippschütz
Arnold Lippschütz , also Arnold Lippschitz, Erich Philippi, Arnold Lipp (in France), Arnold Phillips (in the USA) (born January 15, 1901 in Berlin , Germany , † August 19, 1952 in Los Angeles , United States ) was a German -american screenwriter and copywriter .
Life
Arnold Lippschütz had made his first contacts with film at the end of the First World War and worked as a copywriter and author of story templates and film ideas. With the dawn of the sound film age, he started working regularly as a screenwriter. These were mostly less important films, in which his brother, the film architect Herbert Lippschütz , had often also been involved.
Together with his brother, the Jew Arnold Lippschütz fled from the National Socialist regime in 1933 . Both brothers initially found work in Portugal , where they worked with another exile, director Max Nosseck . In the Netherlands , Lippschütz wrote the script for Nosseck's espionage drama De big van het Regiment . The author then went to France , where he worked again as Arnold Lipp for Nosseck - the Buster-Keaton comedy Le roi des Champs-Elysées - but also for other exiles such as Nikolaus Farkas (Port Arthur, Le patriote) , Max Ophüls (Yoshiwara) and Richard Oswald (Storm Over Asia) wrote manuscripts.
In December 1938, Arnold Lippschütz, who used a number of pseudonyms over the course of his career, moved to the USA and called himself Arnold Phillips from then on. He debuted in Hollywood in 1941 with the screenplay for Nosseck's B-film Gambling Daughters . In later times he mostly had to be content with story contributions as the basis for scripts by other authors. He provided regular scripts for immigrant directors from Central Europe such as Robert Siodmak (Time Out of Mind) , Hugo Haas (Pickup) , Gustav Machatý (Jealousy) and again Nosseck (Kill or be Killed) . His last script contribution was Nosseck's mystery melodrama The Body Beautiful - a film that hit US cinemas a year after Lippschütz's untimely death.
