Egon Eis (born October 6, 1910 in Vienna ; † September 6, 1994 in Munich , born Egon Eisler ) was an Austrian author of detective novels , film scripts and stage plays, often using the pseudonym Trygve Larsen (especially in the Edgar Wallace films ) , Edgar Eis or Albert Tanner .

biography

The son of a building contractor had lived in Berlin since the 1920s and wrote several detective novels , often in collaboration with his brother Otto ( The Last Woman of London , 1931). At that time, Eis was also involved in film scripts.

Due to the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933, went ice because of his Jewish lineage back to Vienna, where he wrote primarily plays as The ridiculous Sir Anthony and prison without bars . His most famous work, Water for Canitoga , was performed in 56 cities in Europe and Latin America. After the annexation of Austria he emigrated to France, in 1940 he went to Morocco, in 1941 to Cuba and in 1942 to Mexico. There he delivered scripts for several films.

Since 1953, Eis lived again in Germany, where it initially remained little known. His stage play The Summit was premiered in 1957 by Heinz Hilpert at the Deutsches Theater Göttingen . When Rialto Film set about making a film of Edgar Wallace's novels in 1959 , Eis was commissioned with the adaptation at the suggestion of Franz Marischka , as he had already worked on the first film adaptation of Der Zinker in 1931 . His first Wallace script for the film The Frog with the Mask on the one hand adhered closely to the original, but on the other hand relocated the plot to the present. Eis withdrew from working on the Edgar Wallace films when his script for The Indian Cloth was rejected and there was an increasing trend towards shooting "based on motifs by Edgar Wallace".
