Wege".
Wilhelm Dieterle took part in the worldwide successful movie "Faust",
after that it followed the commercial successes "Die Weber" (27) and "Die
Heilige und ihr Narr" (28).
Finally he got the attention of the USA und he went to America where

the emigrants during the time of the National Socialists in Germany.

basis of his recommendation.
