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 from 1949 list him as "Max Opuls".
