Hungarian writer, journalist, playwright, and screenwriter, who embarked on a fascinating literary journey, initially pursuing medicine and subsequently switching to journalism, as he honed his skills in crafting engaging short stories and novels. Drawing inspiration from the renowned Ferenc Molnár, he developed his stage works with remarkable technical proficiency and effective storytelling, garnering acclaim both domestically and internationally.
As his career flourished, he began writing screenplays for several Hollywood films, commencing in 1932. This creative streak led him to settle in Vienna, where he resided until the annexation of Austria in March 1938, at which point he left due to his Jewish heritage. He initially fled to France before ultimately emigrating to the United States.
Years later, in the 1950s, he returned to Europe and settled in West Germany, where he contributed to various German film productions.
On a personal note, his marital history is marked by two significant relationships. Firstly, he married Rózsa Faludi on February 21, 1920, only to divorce a year later. His second spouse was Etelka Borbála Jagasich, whom he married on November 5, 1923, in Budapest, and divorced in 1928.
