It was a post-war love story with a circus setting, filmed at Ufa's Babelsberg studio. I.S. Mowis at IMDb: 'Though diminutive and rather unimposing in stature, she had expressive eyes, and, as it turned out, possessed a strong on-screen presence. " From then on, she appeared regularly in films, including a performance as a young lodger in Peter Lorre's only directorial effort, the West-German drama Der Verlorene/The Lost One (1951). Scholz alternated leading roles in light comedies and operettas such as Pension Schöller (Georg Jacoby, 1952) and Ball im Savoy/Ball at the Savoy (Paul Martin, 1955)) with high profile supporting parts in drama. She did her best acting in films with a wartime theme, such as a supporting role opposite Curd Jürgens in Des Teufels General/The Devil's General (Helmut Käutner, 1955), based on the play by Carl Zuckmayer.

From the early 1960s, Eva Ingeborg Scholz appeared increasingly in television, where she remained active until the age of 90 years in 2018.

Hamilton Luske, 1950) and to Alice's sister in Alice in Wonderland (Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson,
Hamilton Luske, 1951).

German actress Margit Saad (1929) was a mysterious, exotic beauty, who worked largely in German film and television. During the 1960s, she also made occasional English-language appearances.

Margit Daisy Saad was born in Munich, Bavaria in 1929. She is the daughter of the Lebanese language professor Fuad Jabbour Saad and German language teacher Agnes Saad, born Diepgen. Margit studied acting at the Otto-Falckenberg-Schule in Munich. To finance her studies, she worked as a model. She had her first stage engagement in Düsseldorf and made her screen debut in the Austrian comedy Eva erbt das Paradies... ein Abenteuer im Salzkammergut/Eva Inherits Paradise (Franz Antel, 1951), starring Maria Andergast. She also appeared as a nun in the West German drama Hinter Klostermauern/The Unholy Intruders (Harald Reinl, 1952) starring Olga Tschechowa, Frits van Dongen (a.k.a.k Philp Dorn) and Katharina Mayberg. She played leading roles in the romantic musical Südliche Nächte/Southern Nights (Robert A. Stemmle, 1953), the operetta Baron Tzigane/Gypsy Baron (Arthur Maria Rabenalt, 1954) with Georges Guétary, and the romantic comedy Drei Mädels vom Rhein (Ernst Jacoby, 1955). In the Swedish-German coproduction Sommarflickan (Håkan Bergström, Thomas Engel, 1955), she had a part opposite Maj-Britt Nilsson and Karlheinz Böhm. A popular success was the West German crime-comedy Peter Voss, der Millionendieb/Peter Voss, Thief of Millions (Wolfgang Becker, 1958) featuring O.W. Fischer,. It was based on the 1913 novel Peter Voss, Thief of Millions by Ewald Gerhard Seeliger, which had been previously adapted into three films. In France, she appeared in Les dragueurs/The Dredgers (Jean-Pierre Mocky, 1959). Other films that year were Heiße Ware/Hot goods (Paul May, 1959) with Ivan Desny, and the teen musical Melodie und Rhythmus/ Melody and Rhythms (John Olden, 1959) with teen idol Peter Kraus.

In 1960 Margit Saad starred in the British drama The Criminal (Joseph Losey, 1960) with Satnley Baker and Sam Wanamaker. Mario Gauci at IMDb: “While essentially character-driven, the film's seedy milieu and sadistic streak allows for a number of vivid sequences (though the race-track robbery itself is rather thrown away!) including the wild party held at Baker's flat on being released from prison (highlighting sexy Margit Saad who subsequently replaces Jill Bennett as Baker's moll), the equally chaotic prison riot, Baker's escape from the penitentiary (having been betrayed after the robbery and recaptured) and the inevitable showdown with the ruthless Wanamaker.” She followed it up with appearances in other British films such as The Rebel (Robert Day, 1961) with Tony Hancock and George Sanders, and the low budget thriller Playback (Quentin Lawrence, 1962). The latter was one of a series of British films based on Edgar Wallace novels, released between 1960 and 1965. On TV she appeared opposite Roger Moore in an episode of The Saint, The Saint Sees It Through (Robert S. Baker, 1964). And in the cinema, she supported TV comedians Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise in The Magnificent Two (Cliff Owen, 1967). In Germany, she co-starred with Stewart Granger in the Edgar Wallace crime film Das Geheimnis der drei Dschunken/Code Name Alpha (Ernst Hofbauer, 1965). In 1966, Saad appeared in an episode of the American television espionage series Blue Light, starring Robert Goulet and Christine Carere. It was edited together with three other episodes into the feature film I Deal in Danger (Walter Grauman, 1966), which includes her appearance. Later she also appeared in Grauman’s war film The Last Escape (Walter Grauman, 1969) starring Stuart Whitman. It was her last film, but she continued to appear incidentally on German TV. Saad also started to direct TV films, including the drama Die Geschichte vom guten alten Herrn und dem schonen Madchen/The story of the good old gentleman and the beautiful girl (1986) with Peter Pasetti. From 1957 till his death in 1988, Margit Saad was married to noted French opera director Jean-Pierre Ponnelle. They had one son, conductor Pierre-Dominique Ponnelle.

German postcard by Kunst und Bild, no. A 1189. Photo: T. v. Mindszenty / Deutsche London (TLF). Carl Raddatz in Geständnis unter vier Augen/Confession Under Four Eyes (André Michel, 1954).

German actor Carl Raddatz (1912-2004) was much in demand by film producers in the 1940s and especially in the 1950s. He appeared in several Nazi propaganda films, but he also gave Joseph Stalin a German voice. Through the years he would become one of the leading character actors of the German theatre.

Carl Raddatz was born as Werner Fitz in Mannheim, Baden. He took acting lessons from Willy Birgel, who engaged him for the Mannheimer Nationaltheater. Engagements in Aachen, Darmstadt, Bremen and finally Berlin followed. In Berlin he would have his greatest successes. In the Ufa studios in Babelsberg he made his film debut in the propaganda film Urlaub auf Ehrenwort/Furlough on Word of Honor (Karl Ritter, 1938). Soon followed more Ufa productions like Liebelei und Liebe (Arthur Maria Rabenalt, 1938) with Paul Hörbiger as well as Verklungene Melodie/Dead Melody (Viktor Tourjansky, 1938) with Brigitte Horney and Willy Birgel. In the next years Raddatz became established as a star and appeared in well-known productions like Befreite Hände/Freed Hands (Hans Schweikart, 1939) opposite Brigitte Horney and Olga Tschechowa, Zwielicht/Twilight (Rudolph von der Noss, 1940) with Viktor Staal, Der 5. Juni/June the 5th (Fritz Kirchhoff, 1942), opposite Kristina Söderbaum in Immensee (Veit Harlan, 1943), and Opfergang/The Great Sacrifice (Veit Harlan, 1944), and in the poetic love-triangle Unter den Brücken/Under the Bridges (Helmut Käutner, 1945) with Hannelore Schroth. He also played in Nazi-Propagandafilms like Wunschkonzert/Request Concert (Eduard von Borsody, 1940), Heimkehr/Homecoming (Gustav Ucicky, 1941), and Stukas (Karl Ritter, 1941).

After the war, Carl Raddatz rather smoothly continued his career with films like the episode film In jenen Tagen/In Those Days (Helmut Käutner, 1946-1947), and Epilog/Epilogue (Helmut Käutner, 1950). Next to his films, he worked mainly in the theatre. In the mid-1950s he became a darling of the public with the films Rosen im Herbst/Roses in Autumn (Rudolf Jugert, 1955) with Ruth Leuwerik, Nacht der Entscheidung (Falk Harnack, 1956) with Hilde Krahl, and Made in Germany (Wolfgang Schleiff, 1957) with Winnie Markus. To his other popular post-war films belong Gabriela (Géza von Cziffra, 1950) opposite Zarah Leander, Regina Amstetten (Kurt Neumann, 1953), and Das Mädchen Rosemarie/Rosemary (Rolf Thiele, 1958) with Nadja Tiller. Giulietta Masina was his partner in Jons und Erdme/La donna dell'altro (Victor Vicas, 1959). His career ended slowly with The Counterfeit Traitor (George Seaton, 1962) starring William Holden, and finally the Hans Fallada adaptation Jeder stirbt für sich allein (Alfred Vohrer, 1975) with Hildegard Knef. For TV, he appeared opposite Ruth Leuwerik in the series Die Buddenbrooks (1979) based on the classic novel by Thomas Mann and in an episode of the popular crime series Derrick (1990). He always remained true to the theater. For years he was a member of the ensemble of the Staatlichen Schauspielbühnen Berlin and impersonated many interesting roles which heaved him to the guild of leading character actors. In the 1950s he had also dubbed stars like Humphrey Bogart, Robert Taylor, and Lee Marvin, and after WWII he gave Joseph Stalin his voice on German TV. In 1972 he was awarded the Bundesverdienstkreuz and in 1979 the Filmband in Gold. Carl Raddatz died in 2004 in Berlin. He was married three times, among others with the actress Hannelore Schroth, his partner in the film Unter den Brücken/Under the Bridges (Helmut Käutner, 1945).
