Das Haus an der Stor: Is there any possibility that this film, made perhaps 40 years ago, would be available. Actor Rudolf Platte played the commissioner. The real life commissioner Otto Paukstadt, was the father of a friend of mine. Is this actor still living?

Have you heard about a silent film director who worked in Germany named Harry Piel? My grandfather, Curt Lahs, worked on films with him and I would like to find copies of these films to watch.

We are reseaching a book on the development of cinema make-up in England, and particularly the work of an ex-UFA make-up man named Herman Rosenthal, who set up a training school in London in the early 1930's. I would greatly appreciate any info about his work in Germany before then, especially what films he worked on.

In the early 1920's Robert Ley who became a member of the Reichstag in 1930 was married to a movie actress. How can I find out what her stage name was.

Trying to find a video copy of Manolescu (1929) with Brigitte Helm and Ivan Mousjoukine. Do you know if anyone has a copy for sale or trade? I have quite a large video collection of silent films. I would be willing to pay a very good price for this video.
