Biography
Biography
Pommer judged that he along with several other old colleagues had avoided becoming too closely involved with the Nazi regime: "Certainly all of them have been proven to be no Nazis. Klagemann seems to have been cleverly able to also stay away from the Nazis. He surely is an opportunist and therefore should be handled with care. Too bad, because he knows more about our business than all the others". Klagemann set up a Munich-based firm Klagemann Film and was an important figure in post-war German cinema. He was president of the West German Film Producers' Association. He was in a relationship with the Austrian actress Jenny Jugo. He produced several of her films, among them her final three post-war productions, including the DEFA comedy Don't Dream, Annette (1949), before she married Friedrich Benfer in 1950 and retired from acting at the age of 46.
