Description

Black-and-white photograph showing director Helmut Weiss and actress Angelika Hauff operating a historical large format camera. The scene takes place in an elegant interior, suggesting a film production. The image dates from the immediate post-war period, when film and photo production resumed in Munich. Taken during the filming of “The Secret of the Red Cat” (1947–1949) in Munich. The film was shot shortly after the war (shooting day 253 documented) and only released in 1949. The film reels were elaborately processed by hand. Photographer: Munich Professional Photographer (Original negatives owned by the seller)
