A Superb Actor,
By History Reader (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conrad Veidt on Screen: A Comprehensive Illustrated Filmography (Paperback)
Just as he did with his highly entertaining and detailed look at Claude Rains: A Comprehensive Illustrated Reference to His Work in Film, Stage, Radio, Television and Recordings, author John Soister brings his erudite but bemused viewpoint to the German-born cinema pioneer who is remembered today by far too many as "that guy who played Nazis." Not only was Conrad Veidt a far better actor than most of the films he appeared in--but he was an exceptional human being who was an early and outspoken opponent to Nazism. Read this book and see his movies.
