The movies of Ernst Lubitsch. Just a note. Most of his movies were also in large part written by him, but due to the way studios liked to keep the jobs of directors and writers separated, Lubitsch rarely was properly credited for his contributions in writing.
1933: Ernst Lubitsch became an American citizen. 1935-1936: Mr. Lubitsch served as production chief at Paramount Studios. 1937: Returned to directing; directed first film in three years, "Angel". 1939: Directed two wonderful films for MGM: "Ninotchka" and "The Shop Around the Corner".
His first film after leaving Paramount was Ninotchka (1939). Positioning the famously solemn Greta Garbo as a comedienne for the first time (the poster for the film’s tagline was “Garbo Laughs!”), Lubitsch—with the help of screenwriters Brackett, Wilder, and Walter Reisch—concocted one of her most-enduring films.
Finding great success in these character roles, Lubitsch turned to broader comedy, then beginning in 1914 started writing and directing his own films. His breakthrough film came in 1918 with The Eyes of the Mummy (1918) ("The Eyes of the Mummy"), a tragedy starring future Hollywood star Pola Negri.
