'''Max Ophüls''' (b. '''Maximillian Oppenheimer''', [[Saarbrücken]], [[Germany]], [[May 6]], [[1902]]—d. [[Hamburg]], Germany, [[March 25]], [[1957]]), German-born [[film director]]. For his work in the German theatre and film industry, he used the [[pseudonym]] Ophüls so that he would not embarrass his garment-manufacturing father should he fail. But later the [[umlaut]] was dropped occasionally when he worked in France and the United States. The credits of ''[[Letter from an Unknown Woman]]'' from [[1948]] and ''[[Caught (film)|Caught]]'' from [[1949]] list him as "Max Opuls". | '''Max Ophüls''' (b.
