from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Life

Nothing is known about Horsetzky's origins and career. In 1927 he joined German film as a production manager and quickly joined the team of Nero-Film's producer , Seymour Nebenzahl . In this capacity he was involved in G. W. Pabst's highly acclaimed literary film The Pandora's Box the following year . At the beginning of the 1930s, Horsetzky also worked for other production companies, including the Hermann Millakowskys. When the National Socialists came to power , Horsetzky was only able to produce the French version of the German film The Tsarevich , and then the Jew had to flee Germany.

Born in Vienna, he first returned home to Austria and ran a few small production companies in his hometown. Horsetzky found himself in Paris in 1937 and worked there again with his Berlin colleagues Nebenzahl and Millakowsky, who had also arrived. Several French film projects Horsetzky failed, however, and it was not until 1938 or 1939 that he was able to work again as a production manager under the pseudonym Charles-George Horset. There were two productions by the emigrants Robert Wiene (his last film Ultimatum ) and again Pabst (his last French film Jeunes filles en détresse ). With the beginning of World War II , Georg Horsetzky's track is lost.
