Max Ophuls

Max Ophuls

Highest Rated: 100% Letter From an Unknown Woman (1948)

Lowest Rated: 80% House of Pleasure (1952)

Birthday: May 6, 1902

Birthplace: Saarbrücken, Saarland, Germany

Much of Max Ophuls' life was spent dealing with a series of adverse experiences: being a Jew in Nazi Germany, forced eviction from two countries, unemployment in America, innumerable terminated projects, limited distribution of his pictures, and lack of critical appreciation in his lifetime. However, Ophuls persevered and drew strength from this adversity. In his 25 years of filmmaking he completed 22 films, at least a third of which are now considered masterpieces, and Ophuls has finally been recognized as one of the great directors.
