Max Jungk 1872 - 1937 |
.
. The screenwriter Max Jungk was born as David Baum in Miskowitz. He began his artistic career as a stage actor and he made his debut in 1897 in Teplitz. It followed engagements in smaller cities where he also realised some plays as a director. He came to Berlin in 1903 where he got in touch with the film business many years later. From 1918 Max Jungk - often together with the screenwriter Julius Urgiss - wrote numerous screenplays. To his first movies as a screenwriter belong "Im Schloss am See" (18), "Lebendig tot" (18), "Der Cowboy" (18), "Morphium" (19), "Harakiri" (19) and "Störtebeker" (19). The 20s marked the height of his film career and Max Jungk wrote many screenplays again. To these works belong "Whitechapel" (20), "Hannerl und ihre Liebhaber" (21), "Kinder der Finsternis" (21), "Fräulein Julie" (22), "Brigantenrache" (22), "Sie und die Drei" (22), "Zwei Menschen" (24), "Nanon" (24), "Bismarck, 1. Teil" (25),"Die elf schillschen Offiziere" (26), "Lützows wilde verwegene Jagd" (27), "Schwarzwaldmädel" (29) and "Die kleine Veronika" (29). With the rise of the sound film he only wrote few more screen plays like "Die schwebende Jungfrau" (31), "Sein Scheidungsgrund" (31) and "Kind, ich frei' mich auf Dein Kommen" (33). With the takeover of the National Socialists his film career came to an abrupt end. He fled to Prague in 1936 where he died in the subsequent year. Other
