जीवनी

Member of the jury at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1960

Moved to Hollywood in 1943. He remained there until 1957, working in ultra-low budget films for studios such as Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC), easily the lowest rung on Hollywood's ladder.

Emigrated to the U.S. 1939.

Worked as writer/producer for Ufa in the early 30's. His first films as a director met with disapproval from the Nazi regime and Wisbar consequently left Germany for the U.S. in 1939. He found little meaningful work in feature films, but had some success as a freelance director/producer in early anthology television during the late 1940's. He returned to Germany in the mid-1950's.

After his return from the USA to Germany he realised a number of very popular movies like "Haie und kleine Fische" (1957), "Nasser Asphalt" (1958), "Hunde wollt ihr ewig leben" (1959), "Nacht fiel über Gotenhafen" (1960) and "Fabrik der Offiziere" (1960).
