Michael Curtiz (born Manó Kaminer(1886-1905) 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. 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 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). <SEP> He mainly concentrated on comedies and literary adaptations. George Dewey Cukor( July 7, 1899 – January 24, 1983) was an American film director. His career flourished at RKO when David O. Selznick, the studio's Head of Production, assigned Cukor to direct several of RKO's major films, including" What Price Hollywood?"( 1932)," A Bill of Divorcement"( 1932)," Our Betters"( 1933), and" Little Women"( 1933). When Selznick moved to MGM in 1933, Cukor followed and directed" Dinner at Eight"( 1933) and" David Copperfield"( 1935) for Selznick and" Romeo and Juliet"( 1936) and" Camille"( 1936) for Irving Thalberg. He was replaced as the director of" Gone with the Wind"( 1939), but he went on to direct" The Philadelphia Story"( 1940)," Gaslight"( 1944)," Adam's Rib"( 1949)," Born Yesterday"( 1950)," A Star Is Born"( 1954)," Bhowani Junction"( 1956), and won the Academy Award for Best Director for" My Fair Lady"( 1964). He continued to work into the 1980s. <SEP> Gold is Where You Find It is a 1938 American romantic drama film that gives a fictionalized account of a true event— an ecological disaster whose effects are still felt in California today. The film highlights the conflict between the mining companies and the wheat farmers by adding a romance between a mining engineer (George Brent) and the daughter (Olivia de Havilland) of a prominent farmer (Claude Rains). Directed by Michael Curtiz and starring George Brent, Olivia de Havilland, and Claude Rains, with a screenplay by Warren Duff and Robert Buckner based on a story by Clements Ripley, the film is set 30 years after the first California Gold Rush, when hydraulic mining sends floods of muddy sludge into the Sacramento Valley, destroying crops and homes, ruining land and water sources and killing people caught in their path. She is herself dedicated to the idea that fruit can be raised the valley. This Technicolor feature film was released on February 12, 1938 by Warner Bros. Pictures. <SEP> Mickey the Kid is a 1939 film. It was directed by Arthur Lubin. <SEP> Wale Adebanwi( born 1969) is a Nigerian- born first Black Rhodes Professor at St Antony's College, Oxford. <SEP> The film is based on Clare Boothe Luce's play of the same name, and was adapted for the screen by Anita Loos and Jane Murfin, who had to make the film acceptable for the Production Code for it to be released. The film stars Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard, Joan Fontaine, Lucile Watson, Mary Boland, Florence Nash, and Virginia Grey, as well as Marjorie Main and Phyllis Povah, the last two of whom reprised their stage roles from the play. Ruth Hussey, Virginia Weidler, Butterfly McQueen, and Hedda Hopper also appeared in smaller roles. Fontaine was the last surviving actress with a credited role in the film; she died in 2013. The film continued the play's all- female tradition— the entire cast of more than 130 speaking roles was female. Set in the glamorous Manhattan apartments of high society evoked by Cedric Gibbons, and in Reno, Nevada, where they obtain their divorces, it presents an acidic commentary on the pampered lives and power struggles of various rich, bored wives and other women they come into contact with. Throughout" The Women", not a single male is seen — although the males are much talked about, and the central theme is the women's relationships with them. Lesbianism is intimated in the portrayal of only one character, Nancy Blake(" I am an old maid, a frozen asset."). The attention to detail was such that even in props such as portraits, only female figures are represented, and several animals which appeared as pets were also female. The only exceptions are a poster- drawing clearly of a bull in the fashion show segment, a framed portrait of Stephen Haines as a boy, a figurine on Mary's night stand, and an ad on the back of the magazine Peggy reads at Mary's house before lunch. The Women is a 1939 American comedy- drama film directed by George Cukor. Filmed in black and white, it includes a 6- minute fashion parade filmed in Technicolor, featuring Adrian's most" outré" designs; often cut in modern screenings, it has been restored by Turner Classic Movies. On DVD, the original black- and- white fashion show, which is a different take, is available for the first time.
