 Anton Walbrook | Biography (1896-1967)
Walbrook was cast as Prince Albert in his first British film, Victoria the Great (1937), a characterization he repeated in Sixty Glorious Years (1938).
In the 1950s, Walbrook brilliantly essayed a brace of roles for director Max Ophuls: the worldly-wise "raconteur" in La Ronde (1950) and the ageing, foolhardy Ludwig I of Bavaria in Lola Montes.
Anton Walbrook's last screen role was Major Esterhazy in I Accuse, a 1957 version of "l'affair Dreyfuss"; he then retired with such finality that many assumed he'd died long before his actual passing in 1967.
