The actor Fritz Feld was born as Fritz Feilchenfeld in Berlin. He often
took part in well-known movies during his long-lasting career. Beside his
work as an actor he also was active as a writer, producer, director and
acting teacher.
He got his education to an actor from the famous Max Reinhardt, his
first appearance in a movie can be backdated to the year 1917 when he took
part in the movie "Der Golem und die Tänzerin". It followed the German
silent movies "Dämon der Welt" (19), "Christian Wahnschaffe: Weltbrand"
(20) and the classic "Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam" (20), before he
went on a theater tour to the USA with the play "The Miracle". After the
conclusion of the tour he stood in the states.
There he worked at the theater for the time being, but from 1928 he
also found regular work for movies. He normally was employed for funny
roles because of his roguish face, his waved har and his conscientous groomed
moustache.
He acted among others in the silent movies "A Ship Comes In" (28), "Blindfold"
(28), "The Last Command" (28) and "Black Magic" (29).
When the sound film arose he was more engaged in the movies then ever.
It is true he concentrated to the theater at the beginning of the 30's
but from 1937 he was regular engaged in movies as well. He normally played
support roles but his impressive personality with the piercing eyes and
his self-confident appearance left a lasting impression at the audience.
To his well-known movies of the 30's belong "True Confession" (37),
"Bringing Up Baby" (38), "Romance in the Dark" (38), "I'll Give a Million"
(38) and "The Marx Brothers at the Circus" (39).
The 40's marked the most labour-intensive time. He took part in more
then 45 movies, among them "Millionaire Playboy" (40), "Victory" (40),
"Shut My Big Mout" (42), "Sleepytime Gal" (42), "Phantom of the Opera"
(43), "Passport to Destiny" (44), "The Catman of Paris" (46), "The Secret
Life of Walter Mitty (47), "Trouble Makers" (48) and "The Loveable Cheat"
(49).
He couldn't complain of lacking work and he was active as an actor till
the end of the 80', so in "Little Egypt" (51), "Sky High" (52), "So You
Want to Be Pretty" (56), "Pocketful of Miracles" (61), "The Errand Boy"
(61), "Three on a Couch" (66), "Barefoot in the Park" (67), "The Comic"
(69), "The Sunshine Boys" (75), "The Strongest Man in the World" (75),
