Die Horst Wendlandt Story

Film producer Horst Wendlandt (1922 -2002) ensured full box offices with Edgar Wallace and Karl May adaptations and rediscovered Charlie Chaplin for German cinema. He was the first to triumphantly market the popularity of TV stars such as Otto, Loriot and Hape Kerkeling on the big screen, who turned Terence Hill and Bud Spencer into European Western stars and made himself the most successful cinema producer and distributor in the German-speaking world.
