Summary/Abstract: Fritz Lang, one of Germany’s foremost film directors of the 1920s, had repeatedly spoken of his dramatic escape from Nazi Germany. This story had been repeated in various surprisingly different or modified variants. However, the historical data prove that the director’s story was made up. Kłys explores the story as a text that has an important context, which in turn reveals its various overtones. The story of Lang would be to be his “imagined film” containing all elements typical of his cinema.
