Kurt Heuser (23 November 1903 – 20 June 1975) was a German screenwriter.[1]
Early in his career he wrote Schlußakkord (Final Accord or better Final Chord), a German film melodrama of the Nazi period.[2] After 1945, Heuser continued to work as a screenwriter. He was in contact with many German-speaking filmmakers and writers and took part in the meetings of Group 47. His last work, “Malabella,” was unable to live up to his first successes as an author, although it did, for example, B. was highly praised by Christa Rotzoll in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.[3]
