About the Item
Richard Wesel – Film Still – Hildegard Knef, 1951 – Vintage Print
This elegant vintage film still captures the young Hildegard Knef in a glamorous moment from the 1951 German film “Es geschehen noch Wunder” (Miracles Still Happen), directed by Willi Forst. Dressed in a classic off-the-shoulder evening gown, Knef exudes charm and poise, her expression both confident and inviting. The soft lighting, paired with the natural backdrop, highlights her refined features and charismatic screen presence. The photograph, taken by German photographer Richard Wesel, reflects the romantic and nostalgic visual style of post-war European cinema.
Film Context:
In "Es geschehen noch Wunder", Knef played the lead role in a story that, like many films of the early 1950s, attempted to blend emotional healing and subtle moral lessons with cinematic beauty. The screenplay was written by Johannes Mario Simmel, who would later become a bestselling author.
About Photographer Richard Wesel
Richard Wesel (dates unknown) was a German film photographer active in the 1940s and 1950s. While not as widely documented as some of his contemporaries, Wesel contributed to numerous film productions during the post-war era in Germany. His work, often uncredited in public databases, focused on capturing dramatic stills and promotional portraits that reflected the glamour and atmosphere of German cinema during the Wirtschaftswunder (economic miracle) years. His style combined classical studio lighting with expressive, emotionally rich compositions. Today, original prints by Wesel, especially those featuring prominent film stars like Hildegard Knef, are valued for their rarity and cinematic quality.
