The result is a fascinating look at a man and an era--Hollywood's Golden Age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn in Berlin and transported to Hollywood in the 1920s with the help of Mary Pickford, Lubitsch brought with him a level of sophistication and subtlety previously unknown to American movie audiences. He was quickly established as a director of unique quality and distinction. He captivated audiences with his unique \"touch,\" creating a world of fantasy in which men are tall and handsome (unlike Lubitsch himself) and humorously adept at getting women into bed, and where all the women are beautiful and charming and capable of giving as well as receiving love. He revived the flagging career of Marlene Dietrich and, in \u003ci\u003eNinotchka\u003c\/i\u003e, created Greta Garbo's most successful film. When movie buffs speak of \"the Lubitsch touch,\" they refer to a sense of style and taste, humor and humanity that defined the films of one of Hollywood's all-time great directors. In the history of the medium, no one has ever quite equaled his unique talent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with the cooperation of an extraordinary ensemble of eyewitnesses, and unprecedented access to the files of Paramount Pictures, this is an enthralling biography as rich and diverse as its subject--sure to please film buffs of all types, especially those who champion Lubitsch as one of the greatest filmmakers ever.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott Eyman was formerly the literary critic at \u003ci\u003eThe Palm Beach Post\u003c\/i\u003e and is the author or coauthor of fifteen books, including the bestseller \u003ci\u003eJohn Wayne\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePieces of My Heart\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eYou Must Remember This\u003c\/i\u003e with actor Robert Wagner.
