Not only are the leads in his film played by directors Dennis Hopper and Gérard Blain, Wenders also cast many fellow directors in supporting roles, such as Hollywood legends Sam Fuller and Nicholas Ray, as well as his European colleagues Peter Lilienthal, Daniel Schmid and Jean Eustache. The American Friend won the German Critics’ Prize in 1977, along with several German Film Awards. (Wim Wenders Stiftung. A Foundation)
