Michael Curtiz (1888-1962) is considered to be one of the most
important directors in film history. "The Casablanca Man" surveys
Curtiz's mastery over a variety of genres which included biography,
comedy, horror, melodrama, musical, swashbuckler and western, and
looks at his relationship with the Hollywood studio moguls on the
basis of documentary evidence gleaned from archive research at
Warner Brothers, rather than the hearsay on which so much of his
reputation rests. This access to the production and financial
details of Curtiz's Warner Brothers films from 1926 to 1953 is the
most distinctive feature of Jim Robertson's work, most of it never
having been made available to the general public. Concentrating on
Curtiz's best-known films - "Casablanca", "Angels with Dirty
Faces", "Mildred Pearce" and "King Creole" among them - Robertson
explores his practical struggles over, for example, screenplays,
his use of reality footage in his feature films, and the
instinctive visual sense which governed his work.
