## Biography

Seymour Nebenzal was an American-born German film producer. He produced 46 films between 1927 and 1961. He entered the industry through his father Heinrich Nebenzahl and became head of the Nero-Film company, which he ran with Richard Oswald from 1926.

In Germany he produced several notable films of the late Weimar period, including *Pandora's Box* (1929), *People on Sunday* (1930), *Westfront 1918* (1930), *The Threepenny Opera* (1931), *Comradeship* (1931) and *M* (1931), directed by Fritz Lang. He also produced *The Testament of Dr. Mabuse* (1933).

Forced into exile by the Nazis in 1933, he worked in France before moving to Hollywood in 1939, where he produced films including *The Chase* (1946) and a remake of *M* (1951). He died in Munich in 1961. His son Harold Nebenzal worked as an associate producer on the 1951 film.
