Biography:Trained in Vienna and Berlin, "Bernhard Wicki" began acting in films in the 1950s. Once he was firmly established as a performer, Wicki turned director with the highly acclaimed "defeatist" drama "The Bridge". His later directorial efforts ran hot (Saboteur: Code Name Morituri) and cold ("The Visit"); among his more worthwhile assignments were a brace of films based on the works of "Joseph Roth" (False Weight, "Spider's Web") and the German-language sequences in "Darryl F. Zanuck"'s mammoth "The Longest Day" (1962). He returned to acting on a sporadic basis in the mid-1970s, most memorably in "Wim Wenders"' "Paris Texas" (1984) and in the European TV miniseries "Kidnapped" (1978) and The Betrothed (1988). Bernhard Wicki was married to actress "Agnes Fink". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
