Hugh Sinclair and Elisabeth Bergner in Escape Me Never (1935)
British postcard in the Film Partners Series, London, no. PC 165. Photo: United Artists. Publicity still for Escape Me Never (Paul Czinner, 1935).
The profoundly sensitive acting of Austrian-British actress Elisabeth Bergner (1897 -1986) influenced the German cinema of the 1920s and 1930s. She specialised in a bisexual type that she portrayed in Der Geiger von Florenz and in other film and stage roles. Nazism forced her to go in exile, but she worked successfully in the West End and on Broadway.
