In the first biography of Michael Curtiz, Alan K. Rode illuminates the life and work
of one of the film industry's most complex figures. He begins by exploring the director's
early life and career in his native Hungary, revealing how Curtiz shaped the earliest
days of silent cinema in Europe as he acted in, produced, and directed scores of films
before immigrating to the United States in 1926. In Hollywood, Curtiz earned a reputation
for his explosive tantrums, his difficulty communicating in English, and his disregard
for the well-being of others. However, few directors elicited more memorable portrayals
from their casts, and ten different actors delivered Oscar-nominated performances
under his direction
