GERMAN EXPRESSIONISM

The film movement that was strongly influential on Gottfried Himmelhaus’s early career. He has moved on from such artifice, of course, but there might still be Expressionist elements even in his more mainstream work such as Stolen Moments.

• The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920)

• Destiny (1922)

• Nosferatu (1922)

• Metropolis (1927)

• M (1931)
   

And see also other notable German films of the period:

• Der Blaue Engel (1930)

• Gloria (1931)

• Stürme der Leidenschaft (1932)
   

RICHMOND STUDIOS

… did not exist, but they’re kind of based on a cross between Gainsborough Pictures and London Films, who made things like:

• The Girl from Maxim’s (1933)

• Moscow Nights (1935)

• A Romance in Flanders (1937)
  
   

And we're working towards lavish melodramas like:

• The Man in Grey (1943)

• Fanny by Gaslight (1944)

• The Wicked Lady (1945)
