| Title | Presentation: Hollywood Speaks German |
| Body | Hollywood Speaks German Stefan Droessler, Director of the Munich Film Museum Presentation with Film Excerpts Presented in English This presentation focuses on the beginnings of sound in film when Hollywood produced many films in many different languages – German among them. Between 1930 and 1932 all Hollywood studios produced films in German to better export them. They hired German stars like Heinrich George, Paul Morgan or Camilla Horn, flying them in from Germany. Or they used German speaking actors living in Hollywood like Greta Garbo, Edward G. Robinson or Marion Lessing. Some actors who were very popular in Germany, like Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy and Buster Keaton had to phonetically learn to pronounce German words. Listen to them speak German with a funny accent while comparing the clip with the American version. Film excerpts from forgotten classics highlight this entertaining lecture.
