Emil Jannings (23 July 1884 – 2 January 1950) was a German actor, popular in 1920s Hollywood. He was the first Oscar recipient, honored with the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 1929 ceremony. To date, he is still the only German to have won the Best Actor Oscar.
Jannings is best known for his collaborations with F.W. Murnau and Josef von Sternberg, including 1930's The Blue Angel, with Marlene Dietrich. Der blaue Engel was meant as a vehicle for Jannings to score a place for himself in the new medium of sound film, but Dietrich stole the show. Jannings later starred in a number of Nazi propaganda films, which made him unemployable as an actor after the fall of the Third Reich.
He was christened Theodor Friedrich Emil Janenz in Rorschach, Switzerland, the son of Emil Janenz, an American businessman from St. Louis, and his wife Margarethe née Schwabe, a German migrant. Jannings held German citizenship; while he was still young the family moved to Leipzig in the German Empire and further to Görlitz after the early death of his father.

Narrowly escaping with her life, she plots her revenge several years later when German war hero Fredrick Zoller takes a rapid interest in her and arranges an illustrious movie premiere at the theater she now runs. With the promise of every major Nazi officer in attendance, the event catches the attention of the "Basterds", a group of Jewish-American guerilla soldiers led by the ruthless Lt. Aldo Raine. As the relentless executioners advance and the conspiring young girl's plans are set in motion, their paths will cross for a fateful evening that will shake the very annals of history.

Genres: ,Jannings was later outcasted from Hollywood for his support and participation in Nazi Propaganda. He also had such a thick German accent that the advent of the "Talkie" film helped ruin his career. He also was outvoted for Best Actor against a German Shepherd dogcalled Rin Tin-Tin, but the Academy thought they wouldn't be taken seriously if they allowed a dog to win Best Actor, so Jannings was awarded. http://www.actingaccess.com/

German director Paul Leni (1885-1929), the director of "Das Wachsfigurenkabinett" (Eng. Waxworks") was one of the great German film directors. He is best recalled for his later Hollywood films, most notably the stylish THE CAT AND THE CANARY. The 1924 German WAXWORKS shows him very near the peak of gifts. It is also very clearly an homage of sorts to THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI; not only would Leni cast two of that film's actors in major roles, he drew from the film's style for both sets and cinematography. Three stories, perhaps loosely based on those of O'Henry, set within the clever framing device of a man trying to compose the tales of 3 waxwork figures. He imagines himself and the owner's daughter in the stories, one of which is an Arabian Nights-type story in which he is a baker wh...
Der alte und der junge König ist ein deutscher Historienfilm von Hans Steinhoff aus dem Jahre 1935. Im weiteren Sinn gehört der Film zu den so genannten Fridericus-Rex-Filmen um die Person des preußischen Königs Friedrich II. Obwohl vordergründig ein Drama um den Konflikt zwischen Vater und Sohn ist das Werk ein NS-Propagandafilm, der vor allem das Führerprinzip vermitteln möchte. Der Film wurde von der alliierten Militärregierung verboten, nach der Gründung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland aber nicht als Vorbehaltsfilm eingestuft.

The Last Laugh (German: Der letzte Mann (The Last Man)) is a German 1924 silent film directed by German director F. W. Murnau from a screenplay written by Carl Mayer. The film stars Emil Jannings and Maly Delschaft. It is the most famous example of the short-lived Kammerspielfilm or "chamber-drama" genre. It is noted for its near-absence of the intertitles that characterize most silent films; moreover, none of the intertitles in The Last Laugh represent spoken dialogue. Jannings' character, the doorman for a famous hotel, is demoted to washroom (restroom) attendant, as he is considered too old and infirm to be the image of the hotel. He tries to conceal his demotion from his friends and family but, to his shame, he is discovered. His friends, thinking he has lied to them all along about hi...
The Last Laugh (German: Der letzte Mann (The Last Man)) is a German 1924 silent film directed by German director F. W. Murnau from a screenplay written by Carl Mayer. The film stars Emil Jannings and Maly Delschaft. In German, the title means, "The man who formerly had this job." Stephen Brockmann summarized the plot as, “a nameless hotel doorman loses his job”.[1] It is a cinematic example of the Kammerspielfilm or "chamber-drama" genre, which follows the style of short, sparse plays of lower middle-class life that emphasized the psychology of the characters rather than the sets and action. The genre tried to avoid intertitles (title cards) of spoken dialogue or description that characterize most silent films, in the belief that the visuals themselves should carry most of the meaning. ...
Breve Storia del Cinema - L'espressionismo: http://www.brevestoriadelcinema.org/10-1.html Tartuffe (Herr Tartüff) was produced by Erich Pommer for UFA and released in 1926. It was directed by F. W. Murnau, photographed by Karl Freund and written by Carl Mayer from Molière's original play. The film starred Emil Jannings as Tartuffe, Lil Dagover as Elmire and Werner Krauss as Orgon. Although retaining the basic plot, Murnau and Mayer pared down Molière's play, eliminating most of the secondary characters and concentrating on the triangle of Orgon, Elmire and Tartuffe. They also introduced a framing device, whereby the story of Tartuffe becomes a film-within-a-film, shown by a young actor as a device to warn his grandfather about his unctuous but evil housekeepe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Josef Von Sternberg directs this magnificent silent film about silent Hollywood and the former Imperial General to the Czar of Russia who has found himself there. Emil Jannings won a well-deserved Oscar, in part, for his role as the general who ironically is cast in a bit part in a silent picture as a Russian general. The movie flashes back to his days in Russia leading up to the country's fall to revolutionaries. This film will be shown at the Kansas Silent Film Festival (February 25 & 26, 2011) - highlighting "The First Oscars,1927-28." The live accompaniment will feature music by Rachmaninoff.
