Richard Hutter
Richard Hutter (born June 2, 1883 in Vienna , Austria-Hungary , † 1947 in Wycombe , Buckinghamshire , United Kingdom ) was an Austrian cabaret artist , screenwriter and producer for German silent films.
Life
Before joining the film in 1915, Hutter had worked as a librarian for the Vienna Chamber of Commerce and studied law. In 1912 he was the first conférencier at the famous Viennese cabaret Simpl and was active as a cabaret artist and humorist alongside Fritz Grünbaum .
In the middle of the First World War , the Berlin-based production company May-Film engaged his compatriot Joe May as a screenwriter. In the years to come, Hutter wrote a number of manuscripts for May, including several inconsequential crime and detective stories as well as the scripts for the screen classics Veritas vincit and Die Herrin der Welt , which were made immediately after the end of the war , the latter being an extremely elaborate eight-part series.
Occasionally, Hutter also worked for Oskar Messter and PAGU . With “Film für Alle GmbH”, Hutter founded his own, small production company in 1919, which, however, only made a few films. As the 1920s progressed, his oeuvre was already shrinking, and with the beginning of the sound film era, Hutter was hardly more active as a screenwriter. When the National Socialists came to power , Hutter had to emigrate and found a new home in Great Britain. Here he can be proven as the editor of manuscripts of two English films by Jews who fled Hitler's Germany, Friedrich Zelnik and Otto Kanturek , after which the Viennese exile was no longer obliged. Completely forgotten by the film industry, Richard Hutter died near London in 1947.
