# William Tell (1934)

1934 · 99 min · Drama · Germany, Switzerland

Original title: Wilhelm Tell

## Synopsis

William Tell is a 1934 historical drama film directed by Heinz Paul and starring Hans Marr, Conrad Veidt and Emmy Göring. It is based on the 1804 play William Tell by Friedrich Schiller about the Swiss folk hero William Tell. It was made in Germany by Terra Film, with a separate English-language version supervised by Manning Haynes also being released. It was shot at the Marienfelde Studios of Terra Film in Berlin with location shooting in Switzerland. Veidt, who had recently given sympathetic performances of Jews in Jew Suss (1934) and The Wandering Jew, was detained by the authorities while working on the film. It was only after pressure from the British Foreign Office that he was eventually released. The film is also known by the alternative title The Legend of William Tell.
