message: I've read that one of his forbears was Karl Marx's mother.  What was the exact relationship? --  JackofOz (talk) 07:32, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not a forebear. The Pressburger family came from Pressburg (now Bratislava, Slovakia). Henrietta Pressburger (no direct relation) was the mother of Karl Marx -- SteveCrook (talk) 17:34, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, thanks.  Looks like someone's added 2 and 2 and got something other than 4.  --  JackofOz (talk) 21:28, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The article as it stands is very misleading. It needs to include his most famous works as well. The fact that they were done with Powell is certainly no resason to exclude them from the article. Please view the articles on Merchant and Ivory for how this article should look. Thanks.

replies: text: I've added a few titles to the lead paragraph. Merchant Ivory Productions aren't really a good comparison because they split the tasks and the credits whereas Powell & Pressburger shared the tasks & the credits -- SteveCrook (talk) 15:03, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

message: "Imre is a Hungarian masculine first name, derived from German Emmerich."
So, calling one's child Imre József Emmerich Pressburger would be like Mr and Mrs Smith calling their new baby Andrew Peter André Smith.  Hungarian WP says his birth name was Imre József Pressburger.  Clearly, the Imre became Emmerich somewhere along the way, and then the Emmerich was changed to Emeric.  --  Jack of Oz [your turn] 09:05, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It does happen that people repeat names (e.g. John John Molina). But in this case I agree with you. Kevin Macdonald gives Emeric's birth name as "Imre József Pressburger" in his biography of his grandfather -- SteveCrook (talk) 16:35, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

message: How could he have "entered Britain in 1935 on a stateless passport"? One cannot have a passport without citizenship. A stateless person can only have a lesser form of identity document.Royalcourtier (talk) 09:50, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Was that the case in 1935?  -- SteveCrook (talk) 15:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Of course it was. 'Stateless passport' is complete nonsense.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.79.154.173 (talk) 20:55, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
