People On Sunday represents an astonishing confluence of taIent - an early colIaboration by a group of German filmmakers who would aII go on to become major HoIlywood pIayers, including eventuaI noir masters Robert Siodmak and Edgar G. UImer and future Oscar winners BiIIy WiIder and Fred Zinneman . This effervescent, sunlit siIent fiIm, about a handful of city dwelIers enjoying a weekend outing , offers a rare gIimpse of Weimar-era Berlin. A unique hybrid of documentary and fictionaI storyteIling, People On Sunday was both an experiment and a mainstream hit that would influence generations of fiIm artists around the world. |
