Biography

Heinz Herald, fils d'un commerçant juif, fait ses études à Berlin. Il est d'abord intéressé par le théâtre : on le retrouve en 1910 dramaturge au Deutsches Theater ; en 1915, il publie un livre sur Max Reinhardt ; en 1917 il fonde la compagnie de théâtre "Das junge Deutschland" ; de 1920 à 1924, il est rédacteur en chef d'une revue de théâtre.

Au début des années 1920, il produit et réalise quatre films muets, mais continue à travailler avec Reinhardt au Deutsches Theater. En 1933, il perd son travail à cause de l'idéologie raciale du parti nazi et émigre aux États-Unis en passant par Paris et Londres.

À partir de 1935 il travaille comme scénariste à Hollywood et devient membre de la Writers Guild Screen. En 1953, il retourne en Allemagne et travaille comme conseiller artistique. Il y reste jusqu'à sa mort, hormis de 1956 à 1960 où il a vécu à nouveau aux États-Unis.

Paul Ehrlich (Edward G. Robinson) is a physician working in a German hospital. He is dismissed for his constant disregard for hospital rules, which are bound by bureaucratic red tape. The reason for his conflict is his steadily rising interest in research for selective color staining, the marking of cells and microorganisms, using certain dyes and marking agents, which, as he describes in the film, have a certain 'affinity' to that which is to be stained and nothing else. Emil von Behring (Otto Kruger), whom Dr. Ehrlich meets and befriends, while experimenting with his staining techniques, is impressed with Dr. Ehrlich's staining methods and refers to it as 'specific staining,' adding that this is one of the greatest achievements in science, especially for diagnostic purposes, based on optical microscopy. After attending a medical presentation of one Dr. Robert Koch (Albert Basserman) showing that tuberculosis is a bacterial disease, Ehrlich is able to obtain a sample of the isolated bacterium. After an intense time of research and experimentation in his own lab, paired with a portion of luck, he is able to develop a staining process for this bacterium. This result is honored by Koch and medical circles as a highly valuable contribution to diagnostics.
