Otto Preminger

Otto Ludwig Preminger (5 Desember 1905 – 23 April 1986) adalah seorang sutradara teater dan film Austria. Setelah pindah dari teater ke Hollywood, ia menyutradarai lebih dari 35 film layar lebar dalam lima dekade karirnya. Ia menjadi terkenal karena film misteri noir yang penuh gaya seperti Laura (1944) dan Fallen Angel (1945). Pada 1950-an dan 1960-an, ia menyutradarai sejumlah adaptasi terkenal dari novel-novel populer dan karya panggung. Beberapa di antaranya mendorong batas-batas penyensoran dengan menangani topik-topik yang pada waktu itu dianggap tabu di Hollywood, seperti kecanduan narkoba (The Man with the Golden Arm, 1955), pemerkosaan (Anatomy of a Murder, 1959), dan homoseksualitas (Advise & Consent, 1962). Dia dua kali dinominasikan untuk Sutradara Terbaik Academy Award. Dia juga memiliki beberapa peran akting.

Otto Ludwig Preminger (5 December 1905 – 23 April 1986) was an Austrian theatre and film director. After moving from the theatre to Hollywood, he directed over 35 feature films in a five-decade career. He rose to prominence for stylish film noir mysteries such as Laura (1944) and Fallen Angel (1945). In the 1950s and 1960s, he directed a number of high-profile adaptations of popular novels and stage works. Several of these pushed the boundaries of censorship by dealing with topics 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 Best Director Academy Award. He also had a few acting roles.
