Biographical Notes in German: 1902 in Hannover als Sohn eines Ingenieurs zur Welt gekommen, begann seine schauspielerische Laufbahn am Theater. Nach einigen Engagements folgte 1921 der Sprung nach Berlin, ins Mekka des deutschen Theaters. Seine große Kinokarriere startete er mit einem wahren Paukenschlag - mit der Rolle des jugendlichen Helden in Fritz Langs expressionistischem Meisterwerk "Metropolis". Der Welterfolg des Films machte Gustav Fröhlich über Nacht zu einem gefeierten Kinostar. Man überschüttete ihn mit Rollenangeboten. "Sein natürlicher Charme, seine Eleganz und sein blendendes Aussehen machten ihn rasch zum Publikumsliebling" (Munzinger) und zum einzigen ernsthaften Rivalen von Willy Fritsch. Ob "Oberwachtmeister Schwenke", "Der große König", "Das Konzert", "Der große Preis" oder "Frau Sixta" - alle Filme mit Gustav Fröhlich wurden zu Kassenschlagern.
Nach Ende des Krieges widmete er sich wieder verstärkt seiner Bühnenlaufbahn. Seine berühmteste Kinorolle war die des todkranken Malers und Liebhabers von Hildegard Knef in dem Skandalfilm "Die Sünderin" (1951); zum letzten Mal stand er 1960 in dem Ehedrama "Und keiner schämte sich" vor der Kamera. Inzwischen hatte er sich längst einen Namen als Regisseur und Drehbuchautor gemacht. So inszenierte er u. a. den Trümmerfilm "Wege im Zwielicht", den historischen Abenteuerfilm "Der Bagnosträfling" und die rührende Familiengeschichte "Seine Tochter ist der Peter". 1983 veröffentlichte er seine glänzend erzählten und mit amüsanten Anekdoten gespickten Memoiren "Waren das Zeiten". Am 22. Dezember 1987 starb der 85-Jährige an den Folgen einer Operation." (Walter Greifenstein, BR Presse)
