Ludwig Donath is a Actor Autrichien born on 5 march 1900 at Vienna (Austria)
Ludwig Donath (6 March 1900, Vienna – 29 September 1967, New York City), was an Austrian actor who appeared in many American films.
Si l'on excepte un film muet autrichien en 1921 (sa première apparition à l'écran), un film allemand en 1932, et un film suisse en 1938, la filmographie de Ludwig Donath comprend majoritairement des films américains, quarante-cinq au total, entre 1942 et 1953, avant deux derniers films en 1966 (l'ultime est Le Rideau déchiré d'Alfred Hitchcock, un de ses plus connus). Notons que dans les premières années 1940, il participe à plusieurs films de propagande anti-nazie ; mentionnons The Strange Death of Adolf Hitler en 1943, où il personnifie Adolf Hitler et un sosie de celui-ci.
À la télévision, de 1949 à 1966, il apparaît dans trente-deux séries, puis un téléfilm diffusé en 1968 (l'année suivant sa mort).
À New York, Ludwig Donath joue au théâtre à Broadway (et "Off-Broadway"), entre 1951 et 1964, dans six pièces et une comédie musicale (cette dernière, She Loves Me , s'inspire d'une pièce ayant fait l'objet de plusieurs adaptations au cinéma, la plus notoire étant The Shop Around the Corner en 1940).

Michael Armstrong (Paul Newman), an esteemed American physicist and rocket scientist, is to attend a scientific conference in Copenhagen. He takes a cruise ship to Copenhagen along with his assistant and fiancée, Sarah Sherman (Julie Andrews). Armstrong tells Sherman that he did not want her to come along, and en route to Copenhagen, he receives a radiogram to pick up a book once in Copenhagen. The book, allegedly a first-edition of one of Armstrong's book, actually contains a message that says, "Contact π in case [of emergency.]" He tells Sherman he is going to Stockholm, but she discovers he is flying to East Berlin, and she follows him there. When they land, he is welcomed by representatives of the East German government, and Sherman realizes that Armstrong has defected to the other side. Sherman, however, is extremely uncomfortable with this move, realizing if the apparent defection is in fact real, given the circumstances of the Cold War of the period, she would likely never see her home or family again. They are constantly accompanied by Professor Karl Manfred (Günter Strack), who took part in arranging Armstrong's defection to the East.

Dave Jennings is so focused on his Los Angeles-based business that he neglects his precocious five-year-old son Gus, who is constantly creating havoc in order to get his father's attention. After Gus's latest escapade is cleaned up and paid for, Dave orders his long-suffering secretary, Ivy Tolliver, to find a new nurse for Gus, then leaves on a business trip. Upon his return, Dave learns that Ivy has placed Gus in the Playtime School, and that he must meet with the teacher, Lydia Marble, to enroll Gus formally. Rushed as usual, Dave tells the attractive Lydia that he will pay whatever it takes to keep Gus in line, but when Lydia explains that parents are required to participate in their child's education at Playtime, Dave indignantly states that he knows all he needs to about Gus. Dave is amazed by how well Gus responds to Lydia's instructions, however, after he smacks a schoolmate. Believing that Gus can benefit from Lydia's tutelage, Dave agrees to keep him at Playtime. As the next three weeks pass, Gus becomes contented and well-behaved, but on Dave's scheduled parent participation day, the businessman instead sends a truckload of toys to the school. Lydia returns the toys with a note admonishing Dave that as a substitute for his attention, the toys are not enough, and when Dave comes to the school to protest, Lydia assumes that he is there to help.
