His directorial debut came with No Man's Land (1931), which had a pacifist message that provoked political turmoil; the film was banned, confiscated and destroyed by Nazi authorities in 1940, and Trivas had to take refuge, first in Paris and, as the Nazi occupation engulfed France, in the US.Nominated for an Oscar for writing the script of Orson Welles' Le criminel (1946), Trivas returned to Germany in 1959, from where he worked on-and-off in other American film productions.
