Hans Pflüger (film producer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Pflüger (born March 2, 1935 in Munich ) is a German film producer .

Life

Pflüger got to know the film industry "from scratch". First, in the early 1960s, he worked as a production manager for Wolf C. Hartwig's Rapid film (for example in 1963 for the adventure flick The River Pirates from Mississippi ).

Since the middle of the same decade he worked as a co-producer for Parnass-Film , his first work was created at the side of Parnass boss Theo Maria Werner , with whom he produced some of the internationally produced Kommissar X crime and action film series.

Later, Pflüger had his own companies with Hape-Film , TV 13 and finally, from 1975, Cinema 77 . Born in Munich, he was particularly active in the mid-1970s, when a state-sponsored depreciation model enabled the extremely profitable production of his highly speculative films (such as Lady Dracula , Frauenstation and The Chinese Wonder ).

Pflüger films are almost all mass-produced goods without ambition; especially action material, occasionally comedy games and war dramas - simple entertainment, often garnished with a pinch of sex and brisk sayings. The participation in two more ambitious Romy Schneider films ( group picture with lady and Death Watch - The Bought Death ) turned out to be financial flops .

During this time, since the second half of the 1970s, Pflüger shifted his field of activity towards film financing. He was now also involved in international productions of Hollywood format - films that promised quick money, such as B. the 1976 horror film Die Insel des Dr. Moreau with Burt Lancaster in the lead role.
