  • 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.

  • 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]

  • 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).
