Notes

People on Sunday (Blu-ray)
Directed by Robert Siodmak & Edgar G Ulmer

In this vivid snapshot of Weimar life, a group of young Berliners
enjoy a typical lazy Sunday, including a trip to the city's
suburban lakes. Flirtations, rivalries and petty jealousies
ensure as they all try to wring the last from their weekend even
while Monday and the weekly routine loom.


People On Sunday launched the careers of a group of influential
young filmmakers who would achieve international success:
future Academy Award®-winners Billy Wilder (The Apartment),
Eugan Schüfftan (The Hustler) and Fred Zinnemann (A Man for
All Seasons), the future noir masters Robert Siodmak (The
Killers) and Edgar G Ulmer (Detour), and prolific fantasy
screenwriter and novelist Curt Siodmak (The Wolf Man).


The Original negative of the film is lost and no complete copy
exists; this restored version was reconstructed by The Eye
Institute in the Netherlands and the 2K scan was digitally
restored by Deutsche Kinemathek.
