Michael Curtiz
Michael Curtiz (born Manó Kaminer(1886-1905)
Mihály Kertész (1905); December 24, 1886 April 11, 1962) was a Hungarian-born American film director, recognized as one of the most prolific directors in history.
He directed classic films from the silent era and numerous others during Hollywood's Golden Age, when the studio system was prevalent.
Curtiz was already a well-known director in Europe when Warner Bros. invited him to Hollywood in 1926, when he was 39 years of age.
He had already directed 64 films in Europe, and soon helped Warner Bros. become the fastest-growing movie studio.
He directed 102 films during his Hollywood career, mostly at Warners, where he directed ten actors to Oscar nominations.
James Cagney and Joan Crawford won their only Academy Awards under Curtiz's direction.
He put Doris Day and John Garfield on screen for the first time, and he made stars of Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, and Bette Davis.
He himself was nominated five times and won twice, once for Best Short Subject for "Sons of Liberty" and once as Best Director for "Casablanca".
Curtiz introduced to Hollywood a unique visual style using artistic lighting, extensive and fluid camera movement, high crane shots, and unusual camera angles.
He was versatile and could handle any kind of picture: melodrama, comedy, love story, film noir, musical, war story, Western, or historical epic.
He always paid attention to the human-interest aspect of every story, stating that the "human and fundamental problems of real people" were the basis of all good drama.
Curtiz helped popularize the classic swashbuckler with films such as "Captain Blood" (1935) and "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938).
He directed many dramas which today are also considered classics, "Angels with Dirty Faces" (1938), "The Sea Wolf" (1941), "Casablanca" (1942), and "Mildred Pierce" (1945).
He directed leading musicals, including "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942), "
This Is the Army" (1943), and "White Christmas", and he made comedies with "Life With Father" (1947) and "We're No Angels" (1955).
Ginés de Pasamonte
Ginés de Pasamonte is a fictional character in Miguel de Cervantes' novel "Don Quixote".
Ginés first appears as a criminal freed by Don Quixote in the 22nd chapter of the first part of the novel.
After his release, he escapes Don Quixote and the guards.
He later reappears as Maese Pedro, a puppet-showman who claims that he can talk to his monkey, on the 26th chapter of the second part.
He also stole Sancho's donkey, a part that was omitted from the first edition.
Prior to his release by Don Quixote, Ginés tells him that he is in the process of writing his own autobiography.
Don Quixote interrogates this writer about his book;
This is the only reference to the popular novel "Lazarillo de Tormes" in the book, and it acts as an alterego for Don Quixote's will to be a literary hero in his own lifetime.
Don Quixote (1947 film)
Don Quixote or Don Quixote de la Mancha( orig.
Spanish title" Don Quijote de la Mancha") is the first sound film version in Spanish of the great classic novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
It was directed and adapted by Rafael Gil and released in 1947.
A huge undertaking for Spanish cinema in its day, it was the longest film version of the novel up to that time( two hours and twelve minutes, plus an intermission), and very likely the most faithful, reverently following the book in its dialogue and order of episodes, unlike G.W. Pabst's 1933 version and the later Russian film version, which scrambled up the order of the adventures as many film versions do.
Characters such as Cardenio, Dorotea, and Don Fernando, which are usually omitted because their respective subplots have little to do with the main body of the novel, were kept in this film.
The film, which starred Rafael Rivelles as Don Quixote and Juan Calvo as Sancho Panza, featured a young Fernando Rey as Sanson Carrasco and popular Spanish actress Sara Montiel as Antonia, Quixote's niece.
The music for the film was composed by Ernesto Halffter, and the movie was shot on location in La Mancha and other Spanish regions.
It did not fare as well in the United States, where it opened in 1949, as it had in Spain.
In its American runs, it was whittled down to a more customary length of 107 minutes.
Golddigger (film)
Golddigger is a 1914 Hungarian film directed by Michael Curtiz." Goldigger" is about the California Gold Rush.
Xarkrow, the lead character, leaves his home in Fortanska, a fictional city in Hungary, to go to California to dig for gold in the hills of the Sierra Nevada.
While there he strikes it rich with great gold.
This causes a female loan shark named Ygretta Roselettokopf of San Francisco to try to seduce him for his money; this concept gives a double meaning to the title of the film.
After his climatic battle with gold warden Amadeus Krone he shouts his famous and compelling line" I come to Californee for find of gold, not to have fight with you."
Following the defeat of Krone in their heated pistol and gilded fist battle, Ygretta Roselettokopf returns with important news.
She tells Xarkrow that she had only been hounding him for his money because Krone had tricked her out of her prized and famous show beagle, Grildboffnklad, and that" If the Hungarian Swine was not eliminated, Grildboffnklad will be."
After rescuing the beloved Grildboffnklad from a rapidly falling mine cart set ablaze, Xarkrow and Ygretta accidentally touch hands and meet eyes, falling in love.
The romantic and favorite line" If more loving for you, mine heart there would be too many" is spoken here.
The two then return to Xarkrow's home town of Fortanska with their newfound riches and become married.
Come the following credits, it is revealed that Amadeus Krone's son named Ivantarkle" Harpsichord"
Krone takes up his father's left behind position.
After learning the fate of his father, he darkly says," I come to Hungary not for find of gold, but to have fight of you, Xarkrow."
It is unknown if the foreshadowed sequel will ever make its big film debut.
