Trivia |

 I`ve been to Paris France and I`ve been to Paris Paramount. Paris Paramount is better. I let the audience use their imaginations. Can I help it if they misconstrue my suggestions? In Hollywood we acquire the finest novels in order to smell the leather bindings. Nobody should try to play comedy unless they have a circus going on inside. I sometimes make pictures which are not up to my standard, but then it can only be said of a mediocrity that all his work is up to his standard. There are a thousand ways to point a camera, but really only one. You could name the great stars of the silent screen who were finished; the great directors gone; the great title writers who were washed up. But remember this, as long as you live: the producers didn`t lose a man. They all made the switch. That`s where the great talent is. [on Greta Garbo] The most uninhibited person I have ever worked with.

Trivia Became a naturalized US citizen in 1936.
Son of Simcha (Simon) Lubitsch, a Jewish tailor.
Billy Wilder considered him his favorite director. Directed 3 different actors in Oscar-nominated performances: Lewis Stone, Maurice Chevalier and Greta Garbo
The term `MOS` is used, on a slate, when a scene is filmed without sync sound (or any sound). This directive is widely thought to be a homage to Lubitsch who would say, in his thick Berlin accent, that he wished to shoot some footage `mitout sound.` `Mit` means `with` in German...ergo...without sound...`mitout sound`- `M-O-S.`
He had a daughter, Nicola, with his wife Vivian Gaye.
Was voted the 16th Greatest Director of all time by Entertainment Weekly.
Retrospective at the 34th Berlin International Film Festival. [1984]
He directed a `mummy` movie. It wasn`t one of the post-Boris Karloff films, but the silent German production Augen der Mumie Ma, Die (1918).
Was known for always playing practical jokes on his film sets.
Brought together Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald, one of Hollywood`s greatest screen pairings.
Gave the film industry `The Lubitsch Touch` due to his sophisticated wit and style.
Discovered actress/singer Jeanette MacDonald in New York (1929).
