Wolfgang Loë-Bagier
Wolfgang Loë-Bagier , in the USA: Douglas W. Bagier (born May 11, 1907 in Neuss , Germany as Friedrich Otto Wolfgang Dreckmann ; † July 8, 1972 in Los Angeles , California , USA ) was a German film editor , sound engineer and assistant director .
Live and act
The adopted son of film producer Guido Bagier learned his trade as a cutter at the beginning of the sound film era on the side of colleagues Jean Oser , with whom he including the section of part of the night to us and Western Front in 1918 anfertigte. In those early years of sound film, Bagier occasionally provided the sound for the films he edited. Until 1936 WL Bagier worked in German-language films, and in the Hans-Moser comedy Das Gäßchen zum Paradies he also worked as a dialogue director. Up to this point he also appeared sporadically as an assistant director.
In July 1937, Bagier traveled to Japan , where he worked on the script for the Japanese-German coproduction Das Heilige Ziel (Original: 国民 の 誓, i.e. Oath of the People). After filming was over, he left the country again in November 1938 and embarked for the USA, where he arrived that same month. In Hollywood , Bagier initially had difficulties finding a place in film. In the editing unit of the film company Twentieth Century Fox , he was initially involved (without naming his name) in the film Six Fates . During the war, Bagier, an American citizen since 1943, was sent overseas by the US War Department .
Activities as an editor are later only recorded for B-film productions by various directors who fled the National Socialist regime, including Fedor Ozep , Frank Wysbar , Richard Oswald , Hugo Haas and Max Nosseck , for whom he worked under the pseudonym Douglas, especially in the early post-war years W. Bagier made the pattern.
