Notes Percy Adlon, a director-producer and screenwriter, began working in theater, leaving it to pursue editing. Adlon also narrated literary programs for German radio. In 1970, he moved on to television, where he made documentaries. Several years later Adlon was asked to make the television film: "The Guardian and His Poet," and in 1981, he made his first feature film "Celeste," a drama of the last days of Marcel Proust.
Adlon's first noteworthy international film was "Sugarbaby," which he directed four years after "Celeste."
"Rosalie Goes Shopping," released in 1989, was reviewed at the Cannes Film Festival where it was entered in competition. The film is 94 minutes long.
Editorial Reviews "...The tinkling background music lends an airy note to Heind's comforting visuals....Adlon has crooked fun with the notion of American banking..." Los Angeles Times - Mark Chalon Smith (07/29/1992)
"...Sägebrecht is so disarming, so serenely tough and so utterly unclassifiable that her presence works real magic....Blithe, high-rolling mischief..." New York Times - Janet Maslin (02/23/1990)
