Some mention should be made of Aaron Spelling, Will & Grace, Sex and the City, and many many other romantic comedies. Lubitsch is by far and away the greatest influence on the genre. -- McDogm 02:53, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

To me, this well written and verifiable article demonstrates that which is not officially approved under the Wickifying rules, which tells us what makes an encyclopedia, for it breaks most of them. What, no refs? No links? No templates? NPOV? No proof that what it says is true? Nonetheless, there is room for this kind of treatment. To be or not to be, that is the question. I vote for let it be. Protect it. It is what makes Wikipedia the great encyclopedia that it can be. JohnClarknew (talk) 15:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the source of the David Thomson quote?Zamboni54 (talk) 20:32, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"With glowing reviews under his belt, and American money flowing his way, Lubitsch formed his own production company and set to work on the high-budget spectacular The Loves of Pharoah (One Arabian Night, 1921)."

Sumurun (aka One Arabian Night) and Weib der Pharao are different films. Luckily, only the latter is lost.

---> No, this is not correct: "Das Weib des Pharao" is not lost. I have seen the film last year. my regards 84.60.156.59 (talk) 19:31, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"So this is Paris" links to a different film from 1955! my regards 84.60.156.59 (talk) 19:31, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the infobox, Lubitsch's "Years Active" extend a year beyond his death. Lubitsch was awesome, but not that awesome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicholasdunham (talk • contribs) 18:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it true that he died on the casting couch? Valetude (talk) 19:32, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• "Casting couch", with its implications of duress or traded favors, is not supported by the sources of which I am aware. A few biographers do report that Lubitsch died in the company of a woman, but her relationship to Lubitsch is unsettled. According to Scott Eyman in Ernst Lubitsch: Laughter in Paradise, she was "his latest casual amour", "neither an actress nor a prostitute". [1] On the other hand, Maurice Zolotow's Billy Wilder in Hollywood reports Wilder's anecdote that the chauffeur had to pay off the woman because Lubitsch had died after sex and before paying her fee. [2] --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:11, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, a rumour answered with citations of other rumours and 'anecdotes'... The rumour about a woman connected with his death is after 67 years still a rumour, no proof or witness' statement until today. According to what I read in the last 20 years about him (mostly German sources but a few English, too) is is only safe that he was found dead by his driver Otto Werner.
