Veit Harlan (1899--1964) was one of Germany's most controversial and loathed directors.
After studying with theatre and film pioneer Max Reinhardt and beginning a promising
career, he became one of Joseph Goebbels's leading filmmakers under the National Socialist
regime. Harlan's Jud Suss (Jew Suss, 1940), in particular, stands as one of the most
artistically distinct and morally reprehensible films produced by the Third Reich.
His involvement with this movie has led to many critical questions: Was the director
truly forced to make the film under penalty of death? Is anti-Semitism a theme in
his other productions? Can and should his work be studied in light of the horrors
of Nazism and the Holocaust?The first English-language biography of the notorious
director, Veit Harlan presents an in-depth portrait of the man who is arguably the
only Nazi filmmaker with a distinct authorial style and body of work. Author Frank
Noack reveals that both Harlan's life and work were marked by creative vision, startling
ambiguities, and deep moral flaws. His meticulously detailed study explores the director's
influence on German cinema and places his work within the contexts of World War II
and film history as a whole
