.
The screenwriter Walter Supper finished an education as a singer and lawyer. After World War I he first worked as an author, two years later he entered the film business and he wrote the screenplay for several movies.
To these movies belong "Irrende Seelen" (21). "Luise Millerin" (22), "Mutter und Kind" (24), "Das Abenteuer der Sybille Brant" (25), "Violantha" (28), "Zuflucht" (28) and "Die Nacht gehört uns" (29).

In the 30s he wrote the screenplays for "Brand in der Oper" (30), "Reifende Jugend" (33), "Krach um Jolanthe" (34), "Fürst Woronzeff" (34), "Schwarze Rosen" (35) and "Ritt in die Freiheit" (37).

Besides his activity as a screenwriter he also appeared as an actor in front of the camera for "Die Kwannon von Okadera" (20) and "Volldampf voraus!" (34) and he realised the movie "Der Choral von Leuthen" (33) as a director.

Because Walter Supper was married with a Jew and he refused to dissolve the marriage he was forbidden to work.
Finally he and his wife did not see another way out than to committ suicide.

Thereby they share this fate with other actors like Joachim Gottschalk and his wife (they committed suicide in 1941) as well as the actor Paul Otto and his wife actress Charlotte Kindler (they committed suicide in 1943).
