Talk:Michael Curtiz

message: Here's just one section:
:Curtiz is often [for example, where?][see American Cinema by Andrew Sarris] used as an example of a director who was not an auteur - that is, an artist with a recognizable style; he worked in many different genres, and did not use unusual cinematography or editing. However, admirers of his work [such as?] argue [where?] that by the 1940s, Curtiz had developed an extremely sophisticated [a bit weaselly] visual style, marked by fluid camera movement, strong compositions and textured [come again?] lighting, that is recognizable to the perceptive viewer.

replies: text: According to Curtiz's Associated Press obituary, the two "had been separated for a year" when he died, but were still married. I will adjust the text. SixFourThree (talk) 14:39, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

message: "Among (exile-) Hungarians he is, with four nominations and one win, until now the most successful in this category among people of Hungarian origin he is second to only George Cukor (five nominations and one win) just before third King Vidor (five nominations)."
This sentence is a mess, and it just doesn't seem notable enough to fix and keep.  I don't see that we regularly note competing Oscar totals of foreign-born vs. native-born American directors, of a given ethnicity, on their individual pages.  Thanks.  Ale And Quail (talk) 13:39, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

message: : I agree with those above; the marriage to Lili Damita appears to be urban legend.  Obituaries of Damita in papers such as Variety and The Los Angeles Times make no mention of such a marriage.  Similarly,   It is widely reported only in blogs and amateur sites, possibly drawing from this article.  David Thomson, in his review of of Alan K. Rode's biography Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film, has this to say:
::  "He married one actress, Lucy Doraine, and had a lengthy affair with another, Lili Damita, before he married Bess Meredyth..."
: I'm going to remove mention of the marriage from both the Curtiz and Damita articles.  SixFourThree (talk) 15:07, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
