G. W. Pabst (1885-1967)


Pandora’s Box was quite a controversial release for its time. The film tells the story of a alluring woman whose sexuality destroys every man she seduces until falls victim to Jack the Ripper. German audiences were quite angry that an American was cast as Lulu; it is said that Garbo and Dietrich were originally considered for the role. Pandora’s Box, directed by G.W. Pabst, was panned in Germany and received very little recognition in the United States in the 1920’s, but is considered a major milestone in silent film. Its moral ambiguity (and suggested lesbianism between Lulu and The Countess) caused the film to fall victim to censorship for many years. - from Lulu of the Silver Screen by Desiree Krauss
