Peter Gorski

Peter Gorski, (7 September 1921 – 3 March 2007) was a German film director.

Peter Gorski was born in Berlin, and was adopted in 1949 by the famous German actor Gustaf Gründgens.

Gorski started his career in 1955 as the assistant director for the film Ripening Youth.

The film starred his adoptive father Gustaf Gründgens as Mephistopheles, and was chosen as West Germany's official submission to the 33rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film, but did not manage to receive a nomination.

In 1968, Peter Gorski, as Gustaf Gründgens’ sole heir, sued the Nymphenburger Verlagsbuchhandlung which had published the novel Mephisto, which was loosely based on the life of his adoptive father.
