Biography

Il est le fils de Karl et Anna Spiehs, des aubergistes. Il apprend l'hôtellerie et joue un petit rôle dans L'Auberge du Cheval-Blanc dans une représentation dans l'établissement parental. Il se fait un nom en tant que producteur de concerts. En 1960, il devient coproducteur du film Glocken läuten überall et fait son entrée dans le cinéma.

L'année suivante, il travaille pour le Wiener Stadthalle comme directeur de production. En 1965, il fonde sa propre société de production, "Intercontinental-Film". En 1967, il prend une participation à 50 % dans la société de Paul Löwinger, Lisa Film. Au milieu des années 1970, il crée sa propre société de distribution "Residenz-Film" pour ses propres films et des films étrangers dans ses propres salles, elle est restructurée dans les années 1980 et prend le nom de "Tivoli".

Spiehs produit un grand nombre de comédies et d'autres films de divertissement comme les Lederhosenfilms, qui ont un succès grand public mais méprisés par la critique. Il travaille souvent au Wörthersee, où il a sa résidence d'été. Il tourne parfois dans les films qu'il produit, le plus souvent en policier. Il fait rarement des films sophistiqués comme l'adaptation de La Ronde par Otto Schenk, ou Jeder stirbt für sich allein d'après Hans Fallada.

Au début des années 1990, il se met à produire pour la télévision. La série Ein Schloß am Wörthersee connaît un grand succès sur RTL Television. Il regagne de la considération avec Die Rückkehr des Tanzlehrers en 2004.

En 1966, il fait un mariage avec l'actrice Angelika Ott avec qui il a deux fils, David et Benjamin qui deviendront producteurs et reprendront ses sociétés.

One day, the henchmen of a local gangster boss named Torsillo come ashore in Amantido to initiate the construction a banana processing plant. Of course, Joe (in typical direct-approach manner) evicts the goons, who promptly return to their boss.

Tommy et Mike, deux amis, émettent régulièrement le lundi à 15h en radio pirate à partir d'un studio de fortune dans un appartement pour qu'il y ait autre chose que le service public et son "programme stupide". La radio est très populaire, sauf pour Müller-Hammeldorf, le directeur du divertissement de la Bayerischer Rundfunk. Compte tenu de la baisse constante des chiffres d'audience de son propre programme, il souhaite ardemment la fin de cette radio illégale. Il aurait été exaucé sans l'aide inattendue de la sœur de Mike, Irmgard. Elle présente aux animateurs un nouvel émetteur mobile qui tient dans un camping-car. Avec maintenant 200 kilomètres de couverture et de nombreux contrats publicitaires pour financer le projet, "Radio Powerplay" est relancé. A lieu alors un jeu du chat et de la souris entre l'estafette et la police. Afin de continuer à émettre, Tommy et Mike doivent prendre des déguisements, parfois bizarres. La confrontation finale se fait dans un pensionnat de jeunes filles. Mais au lieu d'une condamnation, le directeur des programmes de BR a une surprise pour les deux amis : il les engage à la BR. Tout se finit dans une grande fête.

A large ship drifts into New York Harbor, seemingly abandoned. The ship is discovered to be carrying large containers of coffee, hidden inside of which are a series of football-sized green eggs. The crew sent in to explore the ghost ship find the mutilated remains of the former crew gathered in one place, and they soon discover the reason why: when disturbed, the green eggs explode, spraying a viscous liquid over everything. The liquid is toxic to living creatures, and causes the body to immediately explode.

Anna and Otto Quangel, a working class couple, live in Berlin in simple circumstances and are not particularly interested in politics. Then, their only son is killed in action during the Battle of France and as they grieve for their son, the desire to resist the Nazi regime grows within them. When a Jewish neighbor is also killed, Anna decides to actively join the German Resistance. She begins writing very personal flyers on postcards, which she at first alone, and then with her husband, leaves in public places and slips into mailboxes. The two are discovered and are arrested and eventually sentenced to death. Otto Quangel commits suicide in the courtroom with a cyanide pill; his wife is executed two months later.
