Herr Hasse had some serious comments to make about the poor status of the film industry in West Germany. But the film makers in Communist East Germany are thriving, he added, “Strangely enough, the Com- munists did not use the big UFA studios after the war,” he re- marked. “All the equipment was carted away to Russia, But the Communists have established an- other large studio, Defa, and it is making a lot of pictures.
