Steve Sekely
Steve Sekely (1899–1979) was a Hungarian film director.
Born István Székely, he was known by several names, based on his changing professional and immigration status, including Stefan Szekely.
He directed films in Hungarian, German, and English.
He worked as a newspaper journalist in Germany, before returning to Hungary in the early 1930s.
He directed one of the most famous classic Hungarian films, the frequently revived comedy "Hyppolit, a lakáj" (1931).
That film was remade in 2000 and the original was later digitally restored and released on DVD.
Sekely left pre-war Hungary, fleeing growing Fascism and laws restricting rights and professional opportunities for Jews.
He worked in Hollywood for much of his subsequent career, directing mostly B movies and early episodic TV, although he directed his best-known English language film, the cult science fiction thriller "The Day of the Triffids" in the UK and returned to Hungary to direct his final film, "The Girl Who Liked Purple Flowers," which was released in 1973.

He did not win an individual Academy Award, but did receive an Academy Honorary Award, and 14 of his films were nominated for Oscars, including" Network", which was nominated for ten and won four.
According to" The Encyclopedia of Hollywood" Lumet was one of the most prolific filmmakers of the modern era, directing more than one movie a year on average since his directorial debut in 1957.
Turner Classic Movies notes his" strong direction of actorsvigorous storytelling" and the" social realism" in his best work.
Film critic Roger Ebert described him as" one of the finest craftsmen and warmest humanitarians among all film directors."
Lumet was also known as an" actor's director," having worked with the best of them during his career, probably more than" any other director."
Sean Connery, who acted in five of his films, considered him one of his favorite directors, and one who had that" vision thing."
A member of the maiden cohort of New York's Actors Studio, Lumet began his directorial career in Off- Broadway productions, then became a highly efficient TV director.
His first movie," 12 Angry Men"( 1957), was a courtroom drama centered on a tense jury deliberation.
Lumet subsequently divided his energies among political and social drama films, as well as adaptations of literary plays and novels, big stylish stories, New York- based black comedies, and realistic crime dramas, including" Serpico" and" Prince of the City".
As a result of directing" 12 Angry Men", he was also responsible for leading the first wave of directors who made a successful transition from TV to movies.
In 2005 Lumet received an Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement for his" brilliant services to screenwriters, performers, and the art of the motion picture."
Two years later he concluded his career with the acclaimed drama" Before the Devil Knows You're Dead"( 2007).
A few months after Lumet's death in April 2011, a retrospective celebration of his work was held at New York's Lincoln Center with numerous speakers and film stars.
