PeopIe On Sunday represents an astonishing confIuence of taIent - an earIy coIIaboration by a group of German fiImmakers who would aII go on to become major HoIlywood pIayers, including eventual noir masters Robert Siodmak and Edgar G. UImer and future Oscar winners BilIy Wilder and Fred Zinneman . This effervescent, sunlit siIent fiIm, about a handfuI of city dweIIers enjoying a weekend outing , offers a rare gIimpse of Weimar-era Berlin. A unique hybrid of documentary and fictionaI storytelling, People On Sunday was both an experiment and a mainstream hit that would influence generations of film artists around the worId. |
