Born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary (now Austria). Novelist and screenwriter who entered Austrian film with DER MILLIONENONKEL at Sascha-Verleih in 1913. By 1918, he was directing his scripts as well.

Perhaps his most successful film was SISSI (1955), which starred Romy Schneider as the Austrian princess and spawned two sequels: SISSI - DIE JUNGE KAISERIN (1956) and SISSI - SCHICKSALSJAHRE EINER KAISERIN (1957).
