Personal Quote:

[interview in Film-Kurier, 11/2/29] There is an unjustified suspicion of the younger generation and that is an enormous, perhaps the worst, mistake. After all, the future lies in their hands. Pay attention to the younger generation of screenwriters. See more »

Trivia:

His novel "The Miracle of St. Anthony's Lane" was written for Kurt Gerron to film in 1934. It had been optioned to make a film at least four times, and each time it was not made so the rights reverted to Pressburger. He said he could retire if he had a few more stories like that. It was finally filmed as Miracle in Soho (1957) in 1957. See more »
