GERMAN HITCHCOCK

This essay deals with Alfred Hitchcock's work in Germany between 1924 and 1926.1 In 1924, Hitchcock worked as the screenwriter and set-designer of The Blackguard (Die Prinzessin und der Geiger, trans. "The Princess and the Violinist") for Ufa in Berlin, and in 1925/26 he directed his first two films, The Pleasure Garden (Irrgarten der Leidenschaft, trans. "The Labyrinth of Passion") and The Mountain Eagle (Der Bergadler), for Emelka in Munich. Ufa in Berlin was the largest German film company, and Emelka in Munich was its strongest competitor.2 The first Hitchcock films premiered in Germany. The Blackguard premiered in Berlin on September 4, 1925.3 The Pleasure Garden premiered on January 8, 1926 in Berlin,4 and it was followed by The Mountain Eagle in the middle of May in Munich.5

Our knowledge of Hitchcock's German period is almost exclusively based on his own accounts.6 These stories have also been used as the main sources by Hitchcocks biographers.7 The problem with this approach is that it relies on these statements uncritically without asking what functions they serve. A close comparison reveals, for example, that the anecdotes about the production of The Pleasure Garden were modified over time to fit the image Hitchcock had constructed for himself. In the earliest account from 1936 there was no mention yet of his fear of the police during the smuggling of film stock over the border nor of his naivete in sexual matters.8 In accordance with his image as "The Master of Suspense," i.e., as a legendary director of thrillers, which had begun to take shape as early as the 1930s, he declared that the third film he directed, The Lodger, was "der erste spannende Film von Hitchcock" [the first suspenseful film by Hitchcock].9 Because his German films did not belong to the thriller genre, he devalued them and even refused to talk about the films themselves. Instead, he only recounted some of the circumstances of their production, making life sound more thrilling than art, for example, by describing The Pleasure Garden as an "emotional drama that was being enacted on the other side of the camera."10 Similarly, in order to further enhance his reputation for skillful visual narration, he stressed the importance of his experience at Ufa in 1924: "The Germans in those times placed great emphasis on telling the story visually; if possible with no titles .... That's what I learned from the Germans."11 In a German television interview Hitchcock even maintained that this period represented the only external formative influence in his entire career.12

In this essay, therefore, I will try to reconstruct Hitchcock's career in Germany between 1924 and 1926 from contemporary German sources. Hitchcock's own statements will only be used if they can be corroborated by other information. Unfortunately, as far as I know, Emelka's documents on Hitchcock's work have not been preserved.13 Except for censorship documents concerning The Blackguard and The Pleasure Garden, no unpublished source material seems to be extant.14 However, a large amount of press material is still available: reports on contracts, articles on actors, descriptions of Hitchcock's work on the set, pieces of film criticism and, last but not least, an article on Hitchcock himself. On this basis a number of facts will be revealed that may serve to correct our view of Hitchcock's early work. Several aspects identified by researchers as being characteristic of Hitchcock's later work actually begin to emerge in the period between 1924 and 1926. In the work of those years we can already find an answer to the question of how Hitchcock integrated the style of European art films into commercial narrative cinema. We can also witness the birth of the "Hitchcock touch": its most important qualities are the emphasis on visual narrative and the dominance of individual attractive sce...

  1. ↑ This essay is based on my contribution to the conference Hitchcock: A Centennial Celebration, New York, October 1999. I would like to thank the Deutsche Forschngsgemeinschaft for their financial support and also Hans-Peter Reichmann (Deutsches Filmmuseum: Frankfurt a. M.) and Werner Sudendorf (Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek: Berlin) for their help in researching contemporary film journals. I am also grateful for the support and perceptive suggestions of Sidney Gottlieb, Annemone Ligensa, and Peter Kramer.

So I got the waitress at the hotel [i.e., probably the 400-year-old Hotel Villa d'Este at Cernobbio on the lake]. I convinced her she could like to be in the pictures. I told her all she had to do was wade out to sea and let Mander 'drown' her" (Gottlieb, Hitchcock on Hitchcock, 30). Hitchcock later (in Truffaut, Hitchcock, 34) changed the "chill" into the popular anecdote every biographer likes to quote: the actress could not go into the water because she had her menstrual period (Spoto, The Dark Side of Genius, 88; Taylor, Hitch, 64).

Hitchcock himself said in 1936 that he had borrowed money in London and Munich when he was in financial difficulties (Gottlieb, Hitchcock on Hitchcock, 10). Hitchcock does not name the companies.

  35. ↑ On Ferdinand Martini: "Ferdinand Martini has been a part of Emelka's staff in Munich for several years" (Walter Jerven, "Ferdinand Martini," Film-Kurier [July 29, 1925]). Martini said of himself that he had been working for Emelka since 1921, "where he had been regularly employed." (See the article on Martini in Kurt Mühsam and Egon Jacobsohn, Lexikon des Films [Berlin: Verlag der Lichtbildbühne, 1926], 118). Martini played roles in eight films in 1925 and in five films in 1926 for Emelka. On Karl Falkenberg: "Then Emelka signed him and gave him an important role in almost every single one of their films." (J-n, "Karl Falkenberg," Film-Kurier [October 24,1926]). Falkenberg, who played roles in two Emelka films in 1925 and also in 1926, gives Emelka as the address of his place of work (see the article on Falkenberg in Mühsam and Jacobsohn, 52).

  37. ↑ Spoto classifies these actors as "top American stars" (The Dark Side of Genius, 82); Taylor calls Valli "one of the biggest stars at Universal" (Hitch, 65).
  38. ↑ Richard Koszarski, An Evening's Entertainment: The Age of the Silent Feature Picture, 1915-1928 (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1994), 262, bases his figures on polls in the journals Photoplay and Film Daily.
  39. ↑ Koszarski, An Evening's Entertainment, 116.
  40. ↑ Nita Naldi received £1500, according to Hitchcock's own report (Gottlieb, Hitchcock on Hitchcock, 33). When this amount is adjusted for inflation and divided by the number of weeks of filming, we have an estimate of Naldi's market value. Thus, with a total salary of $7290 (according to the figures in Statistisches Reich-samt, ed., Statistisches Jahrbuch fur das deutsche Reich [Berlin: Verlag von Reimar Hobbing, 1928], 434), and with 8 to 12 weeks of filming (Putz has January to March 1926 [Waterloo in Geiselgasteig, 224], Taylor, October to December 1925 [Hitch, 68-69]; Taylor's figures seem to be more realistic, because in Kinematograph 983.4 (December 25, 1925): 3, there was an advertisement saying that "The Bergadler ... is almost finished!"), Nita Naldi earned $600 to $900 per week.
  41. ↑ Taylor does not mention Nita Naldi. Spoto, however, regards it as a fact (The Dark Side of Genius, 89). Before that, Naldi is mentioned in Peter Noble, Index to the work of Alfred Hitchcock, Special Supplement to Sight and Sound Index Series, No. 18 (May, 1949), 6; see also Charles Barr, English Hitchcock (Moffat: Cameron 8c Mollis, 1999), 215-16.
  42. ↑ Hitchcock once said that the actress playing the "native girl" was doubled by a waitress from the hotel where the film team was staying for the scene in which she is ducked in the water by Mander (see note 8 above). In contrast to Taylor's description (Hitch, 65), however, she is not only visible from behind, but also quite clearly from the front. Is Hitchcock's story another one of his inventions?

  50. ↑ The U.S. audiences favorite female stars of 1924, Mary Pickford and Gloria Swanson, both appeared only once on Germany's lists: they were ranked as number 24 and number 39, respectively, in the same year. This means that Gloria Swanson, for example, received only about ten votes of 15,000. A total of 15,120 votes was collected; for the first fifteen ranks the number of votes is noted, for the next forty-two only the names but not the votes are given, and whoever reached a rank of only forty-two or lower had only received five votes or less.

  81. ↑ In connection with The Blackguard, the press has "N." (or sometimes "M") instead of "A." Hitchcock. Since this mistake can be found in all the press items, it probably originated in the press material. The film's credits and the censorship card correctly use "Alfred Hitchcock."

Following the film Scherben, the other Kammerspielfilme were all produced by Ufa (Der letzte Mann is a film by the Ufa production-company Union-Film), commissioned by Ufa (Hintertreppe, a film starring Henny Porten, is a film for Ufa's Gloria-Film GmbH), or at least released by Ufa (in the case of Sylvester).
