- German-born director Ernst Laemmle was a nephew of Universal Pictures founder Carl Laemmle. Carl was known for bringing over family members from Germany and giving them jobs at Universal, and Ernst was just one of many to be accorded that opportunity (others were directors William Wyler and Joseph Levigard and producers Max Alexander, Arthur Alexander and Alfred Stern). At Universal Laemmle specialized in directing the inexpensive two-reel westerns that the studio ground out like sausages. Unlike many of "Uncle" Carl's relatives, however, Ernst returned to Germany and directed several German-language films for Universal there, such as Der Teufelsreporter (1929).- IMDb Mini Biography By: frankfob2@yahoo.com
