Jochen Huth
Jochen Huth (born May 24, 1905 in Leipzig , born Joachim Huth , † November 17, 1984 in Minusio , Switzerland ) was a German actor , radio play writer and screenwriter .
Life
He studied at the University of Leipzig and completed a commercial apprenticeship, then he took acting lessons at the Leipzig City Theater. From 1927 he appeared on Leipzig, Hamburg and Oldenburg theaters.
In 1931 he began to write and edit feature pages. He worked as a film and theater critic and wrote radio plays for the broadcasters in Berlin, Cologne and Leipzig. In 1935 he met Willi Forst and wrote the scripts for three films for him . Until 1941 he delivered a few more scripts and was the author of several plays. This included the play The Four Journeyman , the film title from 1938 (1936/37 in Lübeck as a play) and the comedy Ultimo! An everyday comedy. This piece was premiered in Lübeck in 1934 in the presence of the author.
After a twelve-year hiatus, he began writing film scripts again from 1953. Among other things, he adapted Gerhart Hauptmann's Die Ratten and Before Sunset . In doing so, and in other ways too, he avoided sharpness and nastiness, as was largely characteristic of German film of the 1950s. In 1954 he was awarded the silver film ribbon for his screenplay for As long as you are there . In 1956 he received the same honor for Devil in Silk , a problem film about a pathologically jealous woman with Lilli Palmer in the lead role.
