Died in 1976

Fritz Lang was born in Vienna in 1890, the son of a building contractor. He abandoned engineering studies for painting, which he studied in Munich and Paris, then served in the Austro-Hungarian army during the war. Settled in Berlin in 1918, he joined Decla as a screenwriter before moving on to directing there, and worked until 1933 with Thea von Harbou, whom he had married. He left Germany in 1933 for Paris, reached the United States in 1934, whose nationality he took in 1939, and returned to Germany at the end of the fifties for his last three films. He died in Beverly Hills in 1976.
