Eugene Tuscherer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eugen Tuscherer , born Eugen Tuchscherer , emigrated Eugène Tucherer (born September 24, 1899 in Kellemes , Austria-Hungary ; † August 17, 1974 in Paris ) was a producer for German and French films.

Life

Eugen Tuscherer worked as a journalist after the First World War before he switched to film as a production manager. He began as a manager to work and served in that role in 1924 even with the anti-war film nameless hero of his brother, the director Kurt Bernhardt busy. In 1928 Tuscherer joined the production company Terra as a production manager.

The seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933 forced the Jews to emigrate Tuscherer abroad. In Paris he continued his production activities as Eugène Tucherer and shot, among other things, a number of multi-language versions .

Together with his brother-in-law Bernhardt, of the same age, Tuscherer founded British Unity Pictures in London in 1936, then the French subsidiary BUP Française in Paris. French cinema remained his home. Immediately before the German troops marched into France, he and the director Max Ophüls performed a fiery call for peace on May 1, 1940, the film and historical drama From Mayerling to Sarajevo .

Doomed to inactivity during the German occupation, Tuscherer continued his work as a producer after 1945, initially for the Elysée company and later for other companies. His wife Erna, who was five years older than him, was able to travel to the USA in 1940 thanks to an affidavit from her brother Kurt after the German troops marched into France .
