Alexander Korda
Sir Alexander Korda (September 16 1893 - January 23 1956) was a Hungarian/British film director and producer. He was a leading figure in the British film industry and the founder of London Films.
The elder brother of future filmmakers Zoltán Korda and Vincent Korda, Korda was born Sándor László Kellner of Jewish heritage in Pusztatúrpásztó in Austria-Hungary (now Hungary), where he worked as a journalist (supporting the Hungarian Soviet Republic) before going into films as a producer. He also worked in Vienna, Berlin, Paris and Hollywood, becoming director of United Artists. He worked closely with many artists on his films, including his Hungarian friend, painter and set designer Emile Lahner.
