  • MICHAEL CURTIZ: from HUNGARY to HOLLYWOOD Release
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1992 MICHAEL CURTIZ: FROM HUNGARY TO HOLLYWOOD November 27, 1992 - January 23, 1993 A survey of more than fifty films by Michael Curtiz (1888-1962), one of cinema's most prolific directors from the studio era, opens on November 27, 1992, at The Museum of Modern Art. As Warner Bros, house director in the 1930s and 1940s, Curtiz symbolizes the crispness and energy that distinguished the Warners' style. On view through January 23, 1993, MICHAEL CURTIZ: FROM HUNGARY TO HOLLYWOOD explores the consistent quality and versatility of the filmmaker's work. The Hungarian-born Curtiz mastered virtually all genres and, during his twenty-seven-year career at Warner Bros., made every type of film from westerns and musicals to social dramas and comedies. A strong director of actors, he made stars of such disparate types as Errol Flynn, John Garfield, and Doris Day, and earned an Academy Award and a renewed career for Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce (1945). Many of his films were popular critical and financial successes. Curtiz possessed an acute narrative sense, displayed in such remarkable films included in the exhibition as The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), with Flynn and Olivia de Havilland; Casablanca (1942), for which Curtiz received an Academy Award for Best Director; Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), the musical which won James Cagney an Academy Award; Mildred Pierce, the film noir portrait of an imperfect American family; Young Man with a Horn (1950), starring Kirk - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 Douglas as an obsessed jazz trumpeter and inspired by Bix Beiderbecke's life; and The Breaking Point (1950), based on Ernest Hemingway's To Have and Have Not, His early successes -- Cabin in the Cotton (1932), a melodrama about sharecroppers, and The Mystery of the Max Museum (1933), an early all-color horror film -- are also included in the exhibition.

Star qualities: Legendary—the ultimate tough guy, the ultimate movie star who delivers the ultimate lines, the ultimate man; “Bogie”; trademark lisp. Humphrey Bogart is a legend. Several polls have named him the greatest movie star of all time, including the American Film 1890s Institute in 1999. It is a testament to Bogart’s talents to note that, even by his own admission, most of his performances are unremarkable, yet he has endured. 1890s Bogart made a handful of classic movies that will always be Top Takes… appreciated. If there is much mediocrity to sit through—and even if, as has been suggested by people such as director John The Harder They Fall 1956 The Desperate Hours 1955 Huston, the actor’s career suffered from his own self-involved We’re No Angels 1955 appropriation of the sharp-tongued, hell-raising, womanizing The Barefoot Contessa 1954 Bogart persona—there is undeniable magic onscreen. As Sabrina 1954 satirized in numerous films and television programs, “Bogie”— The Caine Mutiny 1954 I the nickname given to him by his friend and fellow actor Beat the Devil 1953 Spencer Tracy—is the man all other men aspire to be.
