CineClub Francis Lederer Season: TALK, A FILMED CONVERSATION & CONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY

  • Thu 28 Nov 2024
  • 7:00PM

Francis Lederer, debonair character actor with a continental charm

This November and December, Cine Club celebrates the long and colourful life and acting career of Francis Lederer (1899–2000). Asked what his secret is, he replied: the secret to longevity is to live a long life – a quote that captures his much-loved wit and humour brilliantly.

Labelled the German speaking Maurice Chevalier, Lederer's international career spanned from the silent era well into the 1970s and our selection of four films aims to illustrate this.

For this part of our mini series we feature a talk and introduction by film historians Brigitte Mayr and Michael Omasta of Synema Vienna who have researched and written extensively about this suave man.

Programme for Thursday 28 November 2024

TALK by Brigitte Mayr and Michael Omasta

A FILMED CONVERSATION with Francis Lederer (1993)

followed by

CONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY

US 1939, 104min, in English, directed by Anatole Litvak

The film was the first one with an explicitly anti-Nazi stance to be produced by a major studio (Warner) and features a large German speaking cast, many of them refugees from the new powers in place themselves, among them Francis Lederer.
