Ludwig « Luggi » Waldleitner (né le 1er décembre 1913 à Kirchseeon, mort le 16 janvier 1998 à Innsbruck) est un producteur de cinéma allemand.

Biography

Ce fils de restaurateur commence dans le cinéma dans les années 1930 comme premier assistant opérateur de Gustav Lantschner ainsi que premier assistant de production sur le film Les Dieux du stade de Leni Riefenstahl. Il travaille pour différentes sociétés de production. En 1942, il intègre Berlin-Film jusqu'à sa dissolution en 1945.

Après la guerre, il fonde avec sa partenaire Ilse Kubaschewski le Kurfilmtheater à Oberstdorf et la société Gloria Filmverleih. Il supervise le doublage de films et travaille de 1949 à 1951 comme directeur de la production de Berolina Film, société de Kurt Ulrich.

Fin 1951, Waldleitner crée sa propre société de production Roxy Film. Il produit l'année suivante son premier film, Bis wir uns wiederseh'n. Il devient l'un des plus importants producteur du cinéma allemand dans les années 1960 et collabore avec des sociétés italiennes et françaises.

Waldleitner fait des films à la mode, mais aussi des adaptations littéraires ambitieuses, comme les romans de Johannes Mario Simmel dans les années 1970. Il soutient aussi le nouveau cinéma allemand, comme Lili Marleen de Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

Par ailleurs, il contribue à promouvoir le cinéma en Bavière. Il laisse une grande partie de son héritage au Musée du cinéma allemand à Francfort-sur-le-Main. En son honneur, il crée un prix en son nom.

Ziegenthals (Jürgen Prochnow), a failed student, makes ends meet as an academic ghost writer. By accident he discovers that the respected professor of sociology, Rüdiger Kolczyk (Klaus Schwarzkopf), has plagiarized his doctoral dissertation by translating the work of an American scholar. He decides to blackmail Kolczyk and to ask for 10,000 DM and additional monthly payments of 1,500 DM. Kolczyk initially agrees, but vows to Ziegenhals that "only one of us will survive". Looking for a way to fight back, Kolczyk tries to gather information about Ziegenhals from Miezi (Elke Sommer), a prostitute and a housemate and friend of Ziegenhals. As Miezi has saved enough money she is thinking of leaving her profession. At the same time her violent ex-boyfriend and former pimp, Kalle Prötzel (Claus Theo Gärtner), has been released from prison; he murders her and steals her savings. During the investigations the police finds out that Miezi had an appointment with Kolczyk and discovers the payments Kolczyk makes to Ziegenhals. Being the main suspects in the murder investigation only increases the hatred between Kolczyk and Ziegenhals, who fight with all means available. Kolczyk, learning that Ziegenhals thinks that Kolczyk wants to kill him, starts playing with Ziegenhals' mind. For example, he sends him a package with an alarm clock, making Ziegenhals think that he has received a mail bomb. Ziegenhals meanwhile befriends Kolczyk's daughter Ginny (Kristina Nel) and makes her his lover. Although this forces the both to have to pretend in public that they are friends, the final disaster cannot be averted.
