Georg Mohr (film producer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Emil Mohr (* 15. September 1902 in Schoeneberg in Berlin , † 29. March 1971 in Berlin-Zehlendorf ) was a German manager and production manager in the movie.

Life

Mohr had attended a humanistic high school in his hometown of Berlin before joining the film industry. There he was involved in 1937 as a unit manager in Zarah Leander's first two German film successes La Habanera and Zu neue Ufern . In 1940 he also worked in this area on Wolfgang Liebeneiner's large-scale Bismarck film. In 1943 Mohr was promoted to production manager for the first time and shortly before the end of the war he was even assigned his own production group for the unfinished film “ Spring Melody ”.

After 1945, Mohr, who lives in Berlin-Tempelhof, was only able to work as a production manager again when the Federal Republic of Germany was founded, but was again taken on as a production manager for almost the entire 1950s (including Helmut Käutner's A Girl from Flanders , 1955, and Der Hauptmann von Köpenick , 1956). In 1958, he also oversaw Frank Wisbars war movie box office success in this capacity dogs, you want to live forever . Georg Mohr did not return to production management until 1959, and in this role he was mainly responsible for productions of the Hollywood returnees ( night fell over Gotenhafen , the officers' factory , Barbara ) . After his last work in 1961, Mohr's trail is lost.
