Wulschleger, Henry

(Deceased in 1939)

   His first efforts as a filmmaker were comic shorts starring a totally forgotten comedian, Zinel (Snob series). After World War I, he worked as a cinematographer (1918 Après lui, Gaston Leprieur, Maurice de Féraudy) and assistant director (1927 Le Manoir de la Peur / L'Homme noir / USA: The Manor House of Fear, Alfred Machin; 1929 Le Capitaine Fracasse / USA: Cap­tain Fracasse, Alberto Cavalcanti). After co-directing several silent movies with Alfred Machin, he shot his first talkies, performed mostly by coarse comedian Bach (1882-1953).
