Abstract
Only a year after Alfred Hugenberg made the above statement, Josef von Sternberg left Hollywood and traveled to Berlin in order to direct one of Germany’s first major sound films for its largest film company, “Ufa” (Universum-Film Aktiengesellschaft, or “Uni- verse Film, Inc.”), which Hugenberg owned. The film was The Blue Angel, certainly one of the most famous films associated with Germany’s Weimar Republic (1918–1933). Hugenberg, who had rescued Ufa from bank- ruptcy in 1927, was a publishing magnate and an ultra-conservative ally of the Nazis in the period leading up to 1933, when Hider became chancel- lor, and the Weimar Republic ended.
