Carl Wilhelm
Carl Wilhelm (born 1872 in Vienna; died in London 1936), was a prolific German film director, film producer and screenwriter of the silent film era, at the end of which his career apparently entirely faded away and he vanished into obscurity. Life After his first work, the short documentary film ''Ein vergnügter Wintertag im Berliner Grunewald'', made for the producer Oskar Messter in 1909, Wilhelm worked for many other Berlin production companies. For example, in the years before World War I, he filmed for ''Deutsche Mutoskop- und Biograph GmbH'' in Lankwitz and ''BB-Film-Fabrikation Bolten-Baeckers'' in Berlin-Steglitz, Steglitz a series of comedies starring the silent film star Leo Peukert. The two comedies he shot in 1913 and 1914 with Ernst Lubitsch - ''Die Firma heiratet'' and ''Der Stolz der Firma'' - were very successful. As late as 1919 a critic could write: "''Die Firma heiratet'' and ''Meyer aus Berlin'' are still our best films."Bobby E. Lüthge im ''Film-Kurier'', ...
