This collection contains production files for twelve American film projects of German director William Dieterle (1893-1972), dating from 1936 to 1950. The files chiefly include production and wardrobe stills, research files, and outlines. There are no personal papers in this collection. Among the stills are photographs of many actors including Henry Fonda (Blockade), Maureen O'Hara (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), Edward G. Robinson (A Dispatch from Reuters), and Marlene Dietrich (Kismet). An outdated paper index and some biographical items on Dieterle are housed in Box 11.
