Timeline
Born in Dresden, Germany, in 1902, Curt Siodmak worked as an engineer and a newspaper reporter before entering the literary and movie fields.
It was as a reporter that he got his first break (of sorts) in films: in 1926 he and his reporter-wife hired on as extras on Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) in order to get a story on the director and his film. One of Siodmak's first film-writing assignments was the screenplay for the German sci-fi picture F. P.
In 1928 he wrote scripts for movies for the first time; his idea for the script for "Menschen am Sonntag" (1929) constituted the first success for his brother Robert as a director.
He invested early royalties earned by his first books in the movie Menschen am Sonntag (1929) a documentary-style chronicle of the lives of four Berliners on a Sunday based on their own lives. The movie was co-directed by Curt Siodmak's older brother Robert Siodmak and Edgar G. Ulmer, with a script by Billy Wilder in collaboration with Fred Zinneman and cameraman Eugen Schüfftan. Siodmak was the nephew of film producer Seymour Nebenzal, who funded Menschen am Sonntag with funds borrowed from his father, Heinrich Nebenzahl.
1 Doesn't Answer (1932) (US title: "Floating Platform 1 Does Not Answer"), based on his own novel.
Compelled to leave Germany after Adolf Hitler and the Nazis took power, Siodmak went to work as a screenwriter in England and then moved to Hollywood in 1937.
He landed a worldwide success with his novel "Donovan's Brain" in 1942, which was filmed four times till 1962.
Siodmak also directed some less than impressive low budget monster movies, including Bride of the Gorilla (1951), The Magnetic Monster (1953), and Curucu, Beast of the Amazon (1956).
His final significant genre credit was for Terence Fisher's German production Sherlock Holmes and the Necklace of Death (1962).
Siodmak spent much time in the small central California mountain town of Three Rivers before moving there permanently in the 1970s, and where he lived until his death. Three Rivers is not far from the city of Visalia--clearly the inspiration for the name of the fictional town of Visaria, the setting for the Wolfman movies.
In 1998, he won the Berlinale Camera at the 48th Berlin International Film Festival.
