      Werner Hochbaum

      Werner Hochbaum (1899-1946, Kiel) was dancer, actor and journalist before making his first film in 1929. Because he was not allowed to make any more films in Germany, he moved to Austria, where he made his name with Vorstadtvariété (1934) and Die ewige Maske (1935). Once recognised as director, he was brought back to Germany by the UFA Studios, where he made seven more films up to 1939.
