Biography

Journaliste, Ewald André Dupont commence en 1916 à écrire des scénarios pour le cinéma muet. Après la guerre, il se spécialise dans l'écriture de scénarios de films policiers et réalise ses propres films. Il devient un cinéaste à succès en Allemagne dans la veine réaliste notamment avec trois films avec pour cadre l'univers du spectacle Baruch et le théâtre, der demütige und die tänzerin'' dans le milieu de la danse et Variétés dans le monde du cirque. Son film Moulin rouge, tourné à Paris et à Londres, où Olga Tchekhova tient le rôle principal, connaît un succès international en 1928, à cause de scènes jugées scandaleuses. L'année suivante, Piccadilly fait connaître au public l'actrice sino-américaine Anna May Wong.

Il poursuit ensuite sa carrière à Londres et à Hollywood, où il s'installe définitivement en 1933. Sa carrière américaine n'ayant pas le succès escompté il décide de se retirer du cinéma en 1940 avant de faire un come-back au début des années 1950 dans des productions de série Z
