I salute you, Michael Curtiz

Casablanca, Mildred Pierce, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, The Breaking Point, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Four Daughters, Angels with Dirty Faces, Charge of the Light Brigade. So many great films. Still have Dodge City on hand to see for the first time.

Searched Michael on you tube after viewing his pictures for 20+ years. The best along with his blessing: ERROL FLYYN.

Came her because of Christopher McQuarrie

I came here because I love classic cinema and I don't understand how anyone can say they never heard of Michael😮

Mr Michael Curtiz was a brilliant Director. I believe he was never fully appreciated until after his death. Unfortunately, Hollywood is a town who appreciates who someone knows more than what they know. He’s perhaps one of the greatest directors of all time. War changes people and can remove feelings of safety, security and hope. Mr Curtiz had suffered greatly. He put all that into his films. I applaud him as a wonderful man with the highest integrity and a director who always reached for and accepted nothing less than the best from himself & others. I hope he’s not forgotten by those who choose to give directing a ‘chance’ when he was the ultimate professional. 🇺🇸

👌👍👏

I heard of him cuz I read My Wicked Wicked ways by Errol Flynn!! Great book!!

They didn't mention that around 40 horses were killed filming that Charge in Charge of the Light Brigade. And that flood for Noah, many people were injured. Guy was a sociopath, that's probably why he doesn't get the accolades

Never heard of? You're kidding, I hope.

35:00 - anybody know the soundtrack, the music...?

Just a question about the first day of filming 'Yankee Doodle Dandy:' The narrator said that filming began on December 7, 1941 as the bombs rained down on Pearl Harbor. That was a Sunday. Could that have been true?
