Educated at the Universities of Prague and Stuttgart, Emeric Pressburger worked as a journalist in Hungary and Germany and an author and scriptwriter in Berlin and Paris. He was a Hungarian Jew, chased around Europe (he worked on films for UFA in Berlin and Paris) before World War II, finally finding sanctuary in London--but as a scriptwriter who didn't speak English. So he taught himself to understand not only the finer nuances of the language but also of the British people. A few lucky breaks and introductions via old friends led to his meeting with "renegade" director Michael Powell. They then went on to make some of the most interesting (IMHO) and complex films of the 1940s and 1950s under the banner of "The Archers". Pressburger often showed a deep understanding of the British only granted to those "outside, looking in". He always prided himself on being "more English than the English". After all, some of us were just BORN English, but he CHOSE to become English. He spent his last days at Shoemakers Cottage, Aspall, Stowmarket, Suffolk in the English countryside that he loved so well.- Producer

- Hungarian born Ida Jenbach was a playwright and scriptwriter for German and Austrian cinema during the 1920s. She was one of the authors of the spirited farce, "Opera Ball" that appeared at the Little Carnegie Playhouse in New York in 1931. NY Times critic Mordaunt Hall praised this comedy as, "cleverly acted by the principals." "Opera Ball" was a German film that had "captions in English lettered on the scenes to keep those unfamiliar with German au courant of what is happening."
In 1926, Ida Jenbach wrote the script to "The Priest of Kirchfeld." Based on Ludwig Anzengruber's popular German "folk play". The play bears a notable resemblance to "The Atonement of Gosta Berling." Attacking the Catholic doctrine of celibacy for priests and the denial of burial for suicides, the play was and remains very controversial.
Jenbach also worked on the screenplay to Hugo Bettauer's 1924 dystopian satire, "The City Without Jews". This novel was prescient. It imagined a city that expelled the Jews and confiscated their wealth. It was meant to show the ridiculousness of anti-Semitism. It was Bettauer's most famous and best selling novel, and translated into numerous languages. It was also his undoing. The novel angered the Nazis. A year later, Nazi party member Otto Rothstock would murder Bettauer.
When the film version opened, members of the National Socialist party tossed stink bombs into the movie theaters. Cinema owners would cut parts of the film out. This film was the first important role for German film star Hans Moser. In 1933, some in the German press would say that this film speaks for itself as an indictment against Hitler.
During the period of the Hitler's Third Reich, Ida Jenbach was sent to a concentration camp where she died. She is largely forgotten today and very little has been written about her. - Ilona Kállay was born on 14 December 1930 in Miskolc, Hungary.
