Behind the Scenes: Heinz Rühmann Preparing

Description

Black-and-white photograph showing two men in an elegant interior, likely during preparation for a film or theater production. The man on the left, Heinz Rühmann, appears to be making final adjustments to the face of the actor on the right. In the background, a historical plate camera on a tripod is visible, along with a microphone, suggesting a scene from the early post-war period or the 1950s, possibly during filming in Munich. Taken during the shooting of the film "The Secret of the Red Cat" (1947-1949) in Munich. The film was shot shortly after the war (Day 253 of shooting documented) and was only released in 1949. The film reels were meticulously processed by hand. Photographer: Munich Professional Photographer (Original negatives owned by the seller)
