Ondra, A.

Japanese: オンドラ,A. - おんどら
Ondra, A.

…In 1907, the first permanent cinema was built in Prague, and in 1912, director Max Urban made films such as The End of Love starring his wife and the country's first star, Anna Sedlackova. After World War I, two young filmmakers, Karel Lamač and Gustav Machaty, boosted Czechoslovakian cinema with their new star, Annie Ondra (who would later become the heroine of Hitchcock's films in England). Machaty's Spring Melody (1933), which portrayed human desire and sexual instinct in symbolic images, was the work that brought Czechoslovakian cinema to the world's attention, with a nude scene featuring Hedy Kiesler (later invited to Hollywood and taking the name Hedy Lamarr), which became a huge hit around the world. In the 1930s, Prague became a film center boasting the finest film studio facilities in Europe, and French films such as The Volga (1934), directed by Victor Turjansky and starring Albert Préjean, and The Golem (1935), directed by Julien Duvivier, were made in Prague.
