Otto Ludwig Preminger (/ˈprÉ›mɪndÊ'É™r/, German pronunciation:

[ˈpreË miÅ‹É ]; 5 December 1905 â€" 23 April 1986) was an

Austrian-born theatre and film director.He directed more than 35

feature films in a five-decade career after leaving the theatre. He

first gained attention for film noir mysteries such as Laura (1944)

and Fallen Angel (1945), while in the 1950s and 1960s, he directed

high-profile adaptations of popular novels and stage works. Several of

these later films pushed the boundaries of censorship by dealing with

themes which were then taboo in Hollywood, such as drug addiction (The

Man with the Golden Arm, 1955), rape (Anatomy of a Murder, 1959) and

homosexuality (Advise & Consent, 1962). He was twice nominated for the

Academy Award for Best Director. He also had several acting

roles.Preminger was born in 1905 in Wischnitz, Bukovina,

Austro-Hungarian Empire (present-day Vyzhnytsia, Ukraine), into a

Jewish family. His parents were Josefa (née Fraenkel) and Markus

Preminger. The couple provided a stable home life for Preminger and

his younger brother Ingwald, known as "Ingo", later the producer of

the original film version of M*A*S*H (1970).After the assassination in

1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which led to the Great War, Russia

entered the war on the Serbian side. Bukovina was invaded by the

Russian Army and the Preminger family fled. Like other refugees in

flight, Markus Preminger saw Austria as a safe haven for his family.

He secured a position as public prosecutor in Graz, capital of Styria.

When the Preminger family relocated, Otto was nearly nine, and was

enrolled in a school where instruction in Catholic dogma was mandatory

and Jewish history and religion had no place on the syllabus. Ingo,

not yet four, remained at home.
