- Julia Wolf was born on December 3, 1901 in London, England, UK. She is known for The Lower Depths (1936) and Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood (1995). She died on March 23, 1995 in Chelsea, London, England, UK.
- British film editor.
- Lived and worked in Germany during the 1920s.
- Became an expert English subtitler in the '30s following the introduction of talkies. She not only prepared English versions, but travelled to Europe to select them in the first place. She picked the films for Studio One, ran the publicity and played hostess at first nights.
- German films were much too long, and they were all cut, later on by me mostly. You had to bring them down. They were too ponderous for an English audience. It is a different psychology entirely. Germans are pedantic so their films were pedantic.
- I was very anti-German and I was very bitter at being carted over there, but there was no problem about it because the people of Dresden are Saxons and the Saxons are a very lethargic people, Dresden was a very sleepy, old-fashioned town, very beautiful. They weren't interested in the war. I just remember that food was very short.
