Portrait of a Man (Heinz Rühmann) in a Suit on a Film Set, in Munich Bavaria Film City

Description

This black-and-white photograph shows an elegantly dressed man (Heinz Rühmann), sitting on an opulent sofa within a set. The presence of professional film or photo studio spotlights and cables suggests that this is a behind-the-scenes shot or a staged scene. The setting, featuring heavy curtains and lavish furnishings, is reminiscent of a post-war film production at the Bavaria Film Studios. Taken during the filming of "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)
