In 1938, Viennese-born character actor Eric Pohlmann left Austria and relocated in England where he launched his film career. Gaining pride of place after World War II, he played dozens of criminal masterminds, enemy spies and corpulent Arab sheiks. Pohlmann was also an expert at portraying self-indulgent royalty: he was seen as George I in Rob Roy (1954) and George III in John Paul Jones (1959). When he wasn't playing a villain, he could often be found as an excitable Italian, notably as the Mayor in Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965). Towards the end of his life, Eric Pohlmann returned to his roots, appearing in several Austrian and German productions.
