Alex Benno (2 November 1873 – 2 April 1952) was a Dutch film actor, screenwriter and director of the silent era.
Quite a number of episodes of sheet music, with an illustration on the cover, show his productivity in this field.
De Jantjes, Bleeke Bet and Op Hoop van Zegen from 1934 are film adaptations of popular drama that attracted large audiences.
He too fled to Holland in 1933, as did many dozens of other mostly Jewish directors, producers, actors and revue artists.
Holland learned the ropes of the film business in those years from producer Rudolf Meyer and from directors such as Kurt Gerron, Ludwig Berger and Herman Kosterlitz.
