Julius Haimann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Haimann (born September 25, 1887 in Eltville , Germany , † January 30, 1939 in London , Great Britain ) was a German film producer , production manager and film salesman.

Life

Haimann got to know the industry from scratch as a film salesman. With his own production company, Super-Film GmbH, he has produced an abundance of light entertainment productions, mainly romances and comedies, since the end of the silent film era. Géza von Bolváry staged these stories, often garnished with musical interludes, several times . With I kiss your hand, Madame Haimann landed one of the last silent film successes in January 1929 - not least because the strip , which featured Harry Liedtke and Marlene Dietrich, featured a vocal performance by Richard Tauber , who intoned the theme song.

At the beginning of the sound film era, Haimann had two big box office hits with Bolvary's Das Lied ist aus and Der Raub der Mona Lisa . Both films had Willi Forst as a star. A few weeks after the National Socialists came to power , Haimann was forced to give up the company and, as a Jew , was banned from working. After completing the shooting of his last German film, Julius Haimann fled from Berlin-Charlottenburg to England in June 1933 , where he failed as a film producer in 1935 after only three films. In July 1936 he tried to found a new company, but with which he could not implement a project. Expatriated by the Nazi regime in June 1939, Haimann died at the end of January of the same year.
