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), "

The Sea Hawk is a 1940 American black-and-white swashbuckling adventure film from Warner Bros. that stars Errol Flynn as an English privateer who defends his nation's interests on the eve of the launch of the Spanish Armada.
The film was the tenth collaboration between Flynn and director Michael Curtiz.
Its screenplay was written by Howard Koch and Seton I. Miller.
The rousing musical score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold is recognized as a high point in his career.
The film was both an adventure and a period piece about Elizabethan England's struggles with Spain.
It was also meant as a deliberately pro-British propaganda film to both build morale during World War II, and to influence the American public into having a more pro-British outlook.
King Philip was seen as "an obviousallegorical Hitler".
(The same theme had been visited in Alexander Korda's film "Fire Over England", released three years earlier, before World War II actually started).
Colorized versions of "The Sea Hawk" were broadcast on American television and distributed on VHS tape in 1986.
Only the black-and-white edited version (109 minutes) and the fully restored/uncut version (127 minutes), have been released in the DVD format.
No plans have been announced to release the colorized version on DVD.
