(Redirected from G.W. Pabst)
'Georg Wilhelm Pabst' (August 25, 1885 - May 29, 1967) was an Austrian film director. Pabst was born in Raudnitz, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary (today's Roudnice nad Labem, Czech Republic), the son of a railroad employee.
Returning from the United States, he was in France when World War I began. He was interned there near Brest until 1919.
Some of his most famous films concern the plight of women in German society, including ''Joyless Street'' (1925) with Greta Garbo and Asta Nielsen, ''The Loves of Jeanne Ney'' (1927) with Brigitte Helm, ''Pandora's Box'' (1928), and ''Diary of a Lost Girl'' (1929), the last two starring American actress Louise Brooks. He also co-directed with Arnold Fanck a mountain film entitled ''The White Hell of Pitz Palu'' (1929) starring Leni Riefenstahl.
After the coming of sound he made a trilogy of films that secured his reputation ''Westfront 1918'' (1930), ''The Threepenny Opera'' (1931) (based on the Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill musical), and ''Kameradschaft'' (1931). Pabst also filmed three versions of Pierre Benoit's novel ''L'Atlantide'' in 1932, in German, English, and French, titled ''Die Herrin von Atlantis'', ''The Mistress of Atlantis'', and ''L'Atlantide'', respectively. In 1933, Pabst directed ''Don Quixote'' in three versions, once again, German, English, and French.
After making ''A Modern Hero'' (1934) in the U.S. and ''Mademoiselle Docteur'' (1936) in France, Pabst returned to Austria and Germany in 1938, he later claimed, to take care of family business. He made two films during the Nazi period, ''Komödianten'' (1941) and ''Paracelsus'' (1943).
Pabst died in Vienna, Austria and was interred at the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna.
