Karlheinz Martin

The sets were jagged flats placed against blackness, and lit with harsh white spotlights. Scenes ended in blackouts not, as was customary at the time, with the curtain falling. Fritz Kortner became famous for his intense portrayal of the young hero. Martin turned to film in 1920, when he directed a cinematic adaptation of one of the most celebrated expressionist dramas, Georg Kaiser's ''From Morn to Midnight'' (''Von morgens bis mitternachts'') with actor Ernst Deutsch as the Cashier ...
