Ewald André Dupont (25 December 1891, Zeitz, Saxony, Germany – 12 December 1956, Hollywood) was a German film director, one of the founders of the German film industry. He was frequently credited as E. A. Dupont. A newspaper columnist in 1916, Dupont became a screenwriter and began directing his own crime-story scripts in 1918. After several successes in his native Germany in silent films, he worked in London and in Hollywood, California. One of his greatest successes was the silent film Varieté (1925). This film, about an ex-trapeze artist, was noted for its innovative camerawork with highly expressive movement through space, accomplished by the prolific expressionist cinematographer Karl Freund. Varieté even did well in the United States, screening for 12 weeks at New York's Rialto Theatre. Dupont's success was noticed by Carl Laemmle at Universal, who offered Dupont a lucrative contract. His first project was Love Me and the World Is Mine in the early summer of 1926, which ran well over budget ($350,000) and was not a success. His film Piccadilly (1929), a late silent, is noted for the central performance of the Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong. Atlantic (also 1929) is seen as one of the most innovative uses of sound film technology available at the time. After his successes in the UK, Dupont returned to Hollywood in 1933, though he directed only a handful of films after 1939.

埃瓦尔德·安德烈·杜邦(1891年12月25日生于德国萨克森州蔡茨,1956年12月12日卒于好莱坞)是德国电影导演,也是德国电影业的创始人之一。他常以E. A. 杜邦之名为人熟知。 1916年,杜邦担任报社专栏作家,1918年成为编剧并开始执导自己创作的犯罪题材剧本。在祖国德国的默片领域取得多项成功后,他前往伦敦和加利福尼亚州的好莱坞工作。他最伟大的成就之一是默片《杂耍班》(1925年)。这部讲述前空中飞人艺术家故事的电影,因其创新的摄影手法而备受关注——通过富有表现力的空间运动来呈现,这一成果由多产的表现主义摄影师卡尔·弗罗因德完成。《杂耍班》在美国也反响不俗,在纽约的里亚托剧院连续放映了12周。杜邦的成功引起了环球影业的卡尔·拉姆勒的注意,后者为他提供了一份丰厚的合约。1926年初夏,他的首个项目《爱我,世界即我所有》超出预算甚多(达35万美元),且并未取得成功。 他1929年的电影《皮卡迪利》是一部晚期默片,因美籍华裔女演员黄柳霜的核心表演而闻名。同样拍摄于1929年的《大西洋》被视为当时对有声电影技术最具创新性的运用之一。 在英国取得成功后,杜邦于1933年回到好莱坞,但1939年之后仅执导了为数不多的几部电影。
