Der Filmausstatter Hans Dreier war nicht nur in Deutschland als Filmausstatter tätig sondern avancierte ab 1923 zu einem der bedeutendsten Filmausstatter in Hollywood.

Bevor Hans Dreier seine Laufbahn beim Film begann, schloss er ein Studium in Architektur und Ingenieurwesen ab und arbeitete auf diesem Gebiet für die deutsche Regierung. Er hatte unter anderem auch einen Auftrag in Kamerun.

1919 stiess er zum Film, wo er seine Ausbildung zum Architekten optimal einsetzen konnte. Zu seinen ersten Filmen als Ausstatter gehören "Seelenverkäufer" (19), "Der Teufel und die Madonna" (19), "Lilli" (19), "Nachtgestalten" (20), "Kurfürstendamm" (20), "Manolescus Memoiren" (20), "Die Fürstin Woronzoff" (20), "Lady Godiva" (21), "Danton" (21), "Lady Hamilton" (21), "Fridericus Rex" (22) und "Peter der Grosse" (22)

Trotz seines grossen Erfolges, den er auf Anhieb beim deutschen Film hatte, zog es ihn 1923 nach Hollywood, wo er für die Paramount arbeitete. Für diese Produktionsgesellschaft blieb er bis 1951 tätig und stattete viele namhafte Produktionen aus.

Zu seinen amerikanischen Stummfilmen gehören "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (23), "Wings" (27), "Underworld" (27), "Street of Sin" (28), "The Last Command" (28), "The Legion of the Condemned" (28) und "The Patriot" (28).

In den 30er Jahren setzte er sich endgültig im amerikanischen Filmgeschäft durch und Hans Dreier erschuf die Filmkulissen zu bekannten Filmen wie "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (31), "Shanghai Express" (32), "Trouble in Paradise" (32), "I'm No Angel" (33), "Duck Soup" (33), "The Scarlet Empress" (34), "Cleopatra" (34), "The Glass Key" (35), "Peter Ibbetson" (35), "Desire" (36), "The Plainsman" (36), "Wells Fargo" (37), "The Buccaneer" (38), "Bluebeard's Eight Wife" (38), "Union Pacific" (39), "Beau Geste" (39) und "The Cat and the Canary" (39).

Dank einem grossen Team, das ihm unterstellt war - darunter Albert S. D'Agostino und Roland Anderson) - konnte Hans Dreier auch in den 40er Jahren eine enorme Anzahl an namhaften Filmen ausstatten, dazu gehören "The Farmer's Daughter" (40), "The Great McGinty" (40), "The Lady Eve" (41), "Sullivan's Travels" (41), "The Glass Key" (42), "The Palm Beach Story" (42), "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (43), "Ministry of Fear" (44), "The Lost Weekend" (45), "The Blue Dahlia" (46), "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers" (46), "The Perils of Pauline" (47), "The Big Clock" (48), "Sorry, Wrong Number" (48), "The Paleface" (48), "Samson and Delilah" (49) und "The Great Gatsby" (49).

In den 50er Jahren enstanden nur noch wenige weitere Filme unter seiner Obhut, ehe er sich 1951 in den Ruhestand begab.
Zu seinen letzten filmischen Arbeiten als Filmausstatter gehören "Riding High" (50), "Sunset Blvd." (50), "Union Station" (50) und "A Place in the Sun" (51).

In seiner langjährigen Karriere in Hollywood wurde Hans Dreier mit drei Oscars für "Frenchmen's Creek" (44), "Samson and Delilah" (49) und "Sunset Blvd." (50) ausgezeichnet. Dazu wurde er für 20 weitere Filme für einen Oscar nominiert.
