Dan Morton Posted 5 April , 2008 Share Posted 5 April , 2008 I'm looking for as many good clear close-up photos as possible of the great character actor, craggy-faced Louis Wollheim, who played "Kat" in the academy award winning "All Quiet on the Western Front", opposite Lew Ayers as the lead. I've searched the web as carefully as I know and have come up with 'nada'. Help! All the best, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthergw Posted 5 April , 2008 Share Posted 5 April , 2008 The film is available on videotape. I suspect it is also available on DVD but you would have to be careful of the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59165 Posted 5 April , 2008 Share Posted 5 April , 2008 Dan, not sure if you spelt his name right in your search. I got these? Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kebabking Posted 5 April , 2008 Share Posted 5 April , 2008 I find when searching the web it helps to enter the correct data WOLHEIM Might make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted 5 April , 2008 Share Posted 5 April , 2008 If you search on "Louis Wolheim" (one l ) in Google Images* you get loads of pictures. HTH. Gwyn * not just a simple Google web search - click on the Images tab at the top of the Google home page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Morton Posted 5 April , 2008 Author Share Posted 5 April , 2008 Rats! Wolheim, not Wollheim! I'm an idiot, what can I say? Anyways, I think he has a great face and would like to do a miniature of his head... All the best, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hederer Posted 6 April , 2008 Share Posted 6 April , 2008 Dan, Do you have what you need? If not I can make screen captures from the "All's Quiet..." DVD for you. I agree with you he has a great face. I've read his nose got flattened while boxing, and despite his "New York cabbie" appearance he was quite a cultivated fellow.

Dan Morton Posted 6 April , 2008 Author Share Posted 6 April , 2008 Paul: Many thanks. I ordered the movie, not just because I need to see Mr. Wolheim's face! If you want to send one or two screen shots, I certainly won't say no. I've learned the hard way that I rarely have enough reference photos for any subject. Thank you for the kind offer! PM me and I'll send you my e-mail address. All the best, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted 6 April , 2008 Share Posted 6 April , 2008 what can I say? That there was something useful among the hundreds on Google Images, perhaps, or that Dave's finds were helpful? Gwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Morton Posted 6 April , 2008 Author Share Posted 6 April , 2008 Yes, I found a number of images of Mr. Wolheim and started working on a conversion from a similar cast head. Thanks to everyone who helped!!! All the best, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
