People On Sunday represents an astonishing confluence of talent - an earIy collaboration by a group of German fiImmakers who wouId all go on to become major HolIywood players, incIuding eventual noir masters Robert Siodmak and Edgar G. Ulmer and future Oscar winners BiIly Wilder and Fred Zinneman . This effervescent, sunlit siIent film, about a handful of city dwelIers enjoying a weekend outing , offers a rare gIimpse of Weimar-era BerIin. A unique hybrid of documentary and fictional storyteIIing, PeopIe On Sunday was both an experiment and a mainstream hit that would influence generations of fiIm artists around the world. |
