The film won the Award of the 42nd Montreal International Film Festival. \u201cWhen we were filming the movie, we got in contact with Curtiz\u2019s family and received a personal relic, a belt with the director\u2019s monogram on it,\u201d recalled Claudia S\u00fcmeghy, the film\u2019s producer. In Hungary, the film is distributed by test screening before the official premiere on 12th September. &nbsp;  Featured image: www.facebook.com\/CurtizFilm\/  Source: igenyesferfi.hu \/ dailynewshungary.com","og_url":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/film-premiere-the-hungarian-film-director-who-conquered-hollywood\/","og_site_name":"Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BocskaiRadio","article_published_time":"2019-09-08T03:44:04+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1361,"height":572,"url":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Michael-Curtiz.png","type":"image\/png"}],"author":"Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_image":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Michael-Curtiz.png","twitter_creator":"@BocskaiRadio","twitter_site":"@BocskaiRadio","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/film-premiere-the-hungarian-film-director-who-conquered-hollywood\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/film-premiere-the-hungarian-film-director-who-conquered-hollywood\/"},"author":{"name":"Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/8bcb55a841d5aae0d74dd77c82785eeb"},"headline":"Film Premiere!
