Ernst Lubitsch [2428] Gender: Male Popularity: 1.5478 Birthplace: Berlin, Germany Birthday: 1892-01-28 Deathday: 1947-11-30 Age: 55 years Movies: 39 Links: Homepage, IMDB Biography: Ernst Lubitsch (January 29, 1892 – November 30, 1947) was a German film director, producer, writer, and actor. His urbane comedies of manners gave him the reputation of being Hollywood's most elegant and sophisticated director; as his prestige grew, his films were promoted as having "the Lubitsch touch". Lubitsch is best known for screwball comedies and romantic comedies, such as Trouble in Paradise (1932), Ninotchka (1939), The Shop Around the Corner (1940) and To Be or Not to Be (1942). While being escapist, his films often offer social commentary on human relationships and society in a satirical way. Andrew Sarris in his influential book of film criticism The American Cinema: Directors and Directions 1929–1968 included him in the "pantheon" of the 14 greatest film directors who had worked in the United States. 100 Years of the2017-08-28 From Caligari to2015-05-28 Hitler: A Career1977-07-08 The Eternal Jew1940-11-28 Ninotchka1939-11-23 Mr. Broadway1933-09-12 Sumurun1920-09-01 Käsekönig Holl1919-03-01 Meyer from Berli1919-01-17 The Rosentopf Ca1918-09-19 The Toboggan Cav1918-03-01 Prinz Sami1918-01-01 When Four Do the1917-11-16 Der Blusenkönig1917-11-02 Hans Trutz in th1917-11-01 The Tenor, Inc.1916-12-22 The New Nose1916-12-15 The Most Beautif1916-11-24 The Mixed Ladies1916-06-21 Pinkus's Shoe Pa1916-06-09 Doctor Satanson1916-03-17 Where Is My Trea1916-02-25 How I Was Murder1915-12-01 The Bodybuilder1915-11-02 The Last Suit1915-11-02 Robert and Bertr1915-08-12 His Only Patient1915-07-31 Miss Soapsuds1915-06-25 Miss Bellboy1915-06-02 Blind Cow1915-05-28 Sugar and Cinnam1915-05-28 A Trip on the Ic1915-05-21 Arme Maria1915-05-07 The Pride of the1914-04-30 A Venetian Night1914-04-15 The Firm Gets Ma1914-01-02 The Ideal Wife1913-09-19 The Miracle1912-12-21 Das Mirakel1912-01-01
