Hans Hinrich (27 November 1903 – 20 October 1974) was a German film director and actor.
[citation needed] Hinrich was a noted theatre director, before moving into film directing in 1932.
[citation needed] While he was initially granted permission to continue working following the Nazi takeover of Germany, he found it increasingly difficult and moved to Italy following the production of Freight from Baltimore (1938).
[1] When Hinrich was threatened with dismissal from the 1941 film Il vetturale del San Gottardo, several of his actors including Osvaldo Valenti secured a reversal of the decision by protesting their support for him.
He made his on screen debut in the 1946 neorealist film Before Him All Rome Trembled and also appearing in Les Misérables (1948).
