 | Eichberger, in exile in England and known as Carl Esmond, appeared as Archduke Theodore in the poignant musical Evensong (1934), carrying on a love affair with opera singer Evelyn Laye but losing her when an autocratic impresario (Fritz Kortner) forbids her romance. |
| Then came Hollywood and Charles Esmond - as he was initially billed - was immediately cast on the wrong side in The Dawn Patrol (1938) as a German aviator captured by pilots Errol Flynn and David Niven during the first world war. |
| Esmond played a Nazi major (with some charm) from whom Norwegian Merle Oberon tries to extract vital information in First Comes Courage (1943), and was a satanic Baron helping Paul Lukas up the Nazi hierarchy in Address Unknown (1944). |
