Brackett, C.

...He later wrote over ten screenplays, including The Boy Detectives (1931) and The Blonde Dream (1932), but in 1933, when Hitler came to power, he fled to Paris because he was Jewish, and there he co-directed with Al Eswaye the Bad Seed (1933), starring Daniel Darrieux. In 1934, he traveled via Mexico to the United States (his mother and other family members who were left behind are said to have died in concentration camps). In Hollywood, he lived in poverty with actor Peter Lorre (1904-1964), who was known for his role in Fritz Lang's M, but in 1938 he began collaborating with Charles Brackett (1892-1969) to write screenplays for such sophisticated comedies as Mitchell Reisen's Midnight (1939), Ernst Lubitsch's The Eighth Wife (1938) and Ninotchka (1939), and Howard Hawks' Ball of Fire (1941). They became known as one of Hollywood's finest duos, writing screenplays for such sophisticated comedies as screwball comedies, which often had crazy themes such as reversing the roles of men and women. From 1942 onwards, he worked as a producer, director and screenwriter, producing the war thriller Secret of the Desert (1943), the crime melodrama Midnight Confession (1944), known as the first masterpiece of film noir, and The Lost Weekend (1945), said to be the first American film to directly depict alcoholism, for which he won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.
