The tale of a compulsive fantasist, whose name has been
given to a medical syndrome, was turned into a big budget,
full colour film in 1943 at the behest of Josef Goebbels,
to compete with the best of Hollywood and perk up German
morale as the tide of WWII began to turn.
It was made at Europeís largest film studio – the
UFA (Universum Film Aktien Gesellschaft) Studios.
The reputation of the studios, built in 1917, plummeted
from the heights of classic German films of the twenties
and thirties (Nosferatu, The Cabinet
of Dr Caligari, Metropolis and The Blue
Angel), when it was used to churn out Nazi propaganda vehicles like the infamous
Jud S¸ss.
