Augustus the Strong (German: '''August der Starke''') is a 1936 German-Polish biographical film directed by Paul Wegener and starring Michael Bohnen, Lil Dagover, and Marieluise Claudius. The film depicts the life of Augustus the Strong, the Eighteenth Century ruler of Saxony and Poland. It was partly shot at the Grunewald Studios in Berlin.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art directors Karl Machus and Ludwig Reiber.
A multiple-language version was made in Polish, directed by Stanisław Wasylewski and featuring a Polish cast.[2] Another Polish-German co-production Adventure in Warsaw was produced the following year.[3]
