Life
Marlé made his theater debut in Frankfurt an der Oder at the age of 20 . Since 1910 he played for many years on Munich theaters such as the Volkstheater and the Kammerspiele under the direction of Otto Falckenberg .
During his time in Munich, Arnold Marlé made his film debut in 1919. Until 1924 he was regularly occupied by Munich production companies, after which he concentrated entirely on his stage work. In the last years of the Weimar Republic up to his final season in Germany (1932/33) he held a call as an actor, director and senior director (director) at the Deutsche Schauspielhaus in Hamburg , where he worked under the direction of Erich Ziegel and Karl Wüstenhagen Staged pieces. One of his best-known roles during this period was Jud Suss in the Kornfeld version .
Arnold Marlé had to emigrate in 1933 for political reasons. He escaped imminent arrest by fleeing to Prague , after the invasion of the Wehrmacht in March 1939 he emigrated to London, where Marlé arrived in July 1939 with his wife Lily, a niece of Sigmund Freud . During the Second World War, Marlé acted as a spokesman for German-language broadcasts on the BBC and, from 1941, received film roles again. He has often been cast as a quirky or obscure foreigner - medic, scientist, and as the lhama in the horror film Yeti the Snowman . Marlé continued his film and television work until 1963, but also appeared on stage again in London, for example in 1959 in the play The Tenth Man .
Arnold Marlé also worked as an acting teacher in the interwar period, both in Munich (e.g. Carl-Heinz Schroth ) and in Hamburg (e.g. Peter Lühr ).
