Wilhelm Thiele

Died in 1975

Wilhelm Thiele (1890-1975), born Wilhelm Isersohn in Vienna, studied at the conservatoire, acted at the Burgtheater and on German stages, then moved into cinema in the early twenties. His filmed operetta of 1930 was the greatest success of German cinema that year. Of Jewish origin, he left Germany in 1933 and worked in Hollywood for the major studios, mostly on series films, including two Tarzan films, then for television; he returned to shoot two films in Germany in 1960 and died in California.
