description: "Curt Courant was a German-American cinematographer whose work includes more than 100 German and international films from the silent and early sound eras. Courant worked in several European countries, collaborating with figures such as Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock and Charlie Chaplin. As he was of Jewish ancestry, Courant was forced to leave Germany in 1933 and go into exile following the Nazi takeover of power."
