Sadly, the artist is almost always a hostage of his time. The cup was not passed by the German director and screenwriter Georg Jacoby. At the beginning of his career, helping the formation of fascism (he would have tried to do otherwise), he bathed in the rays of glory, and after the war - for creating propaganda videos about the Nazis - he was forbidden to shoot.
Georg Franz Gustav Jacobi was born in July 1883, his homeland is the town of Mainz (Germany). For George, directing was a family profession, his father William Jacobi was a theater director and helped his son a lot in the beginning of his career.
At the beginning of his creative career, Georg worked as an actor in the city theaters of Bremen, Koenigsberg and Berlin. His first film, where he acted both as a director and as a screenwriter, was made in 1913.
After the war, Jacobi worked for UFA, where his experience was used in the creation of educational films. Only a few years later he returned to his favorite business. And to this day most of the works of the master ("The Mask in Blue", "Sensation in San Remo", "The Mask in Blue").
Queen of Chardash "Danube's Child,"
"The girl of my dreams" "Dance with the Kaiser", "Women are still the best diplomats", "Cora Terry", "One May Night", "Night in May", "Gasparone") are popular with moviegoers, and, despite the past years, his directing is called original and interesting.
Like any artist, George Jacobi had his own muse. In 1936, on the set of the film “Hot Blood”, he met actress Marika Reck, who four years later became his legal wife and played major roles in most of his films. They lived together until the death of the director, and the stage of their joint life is called the “creative tandem of Jacobi-Reck”. George died in 1964 in Munich, Germany. /
