Arnold Pressburger
(27 August 1885 – 17 February 1951) was an
Austrian Jewish
[1]
film producer
who produced more than 70 films between 1913 and 1951. Pressburger was born in
Pressburg
,
Austria-Hungary
(now
Bratislava
,
Slovakia
) and died in
Hamburg
,
Germany
from a stroke.
In 1932, he set up the production company
Cine-Allianz
with
Gregor Rabinovitch
. The company enjoyed commercial success, but was subsequently
expropriated
from them by the
Nazi
government of Germany as part of the
anti-Jewish policy
. He was not related to the Hungarian British filmmaker
Emeric Pressburger
.
He fled to England, and then to the U.S.A., via France. He produced movies in both France and the UK. He arrived in Hollywood in 1941. There, he founded 'Arnold Pressburger Films', a banner under which he was able to release more films.
He was the father of Fred Pressburger, also in the film business.
Arnold died at the age of 65, while the shooting of his last-produced film, 'Der Verlorene' was underway.
