Biography

Au cinéma, Otto Ludwig est monteur de soixante-dix-sept films sortis entre 1928 et 1966, majoritairement américains.

Mentionnons Cinquième Colonne d'Alfred Hitchcock (1942, avec Robert Cummings et Priscilla Lane), L'Ange des maudits de Fritz Lang (1952, avec Marlène Dietrich et Arthur Kennedy), L'Ardente Gitane de Nicholas Ray (1956, avec Jane Russell et Cornel Wilde), ou encore Salomon et la Reine de Saba de King Vidor (1959, avec Yul Brynner et Gina Lollobrigida).

Il contribue aussi à quelques films britanniques dans les années 1930, dont Prima Donna de Victor Saville (1934, avec Fritz Kortner et Emlyn Williams).

La Lune était bleue d'Otto Preminger (1953, avec William Holden et Maggie McNamara) lui vaut son unique nomination à l'Oscar du meilleur montage (qu'il ne gagne pas).
