Ernst Marischka (1893-1963), born in Vienna, the son of a master gilder, was raised by his elder brother Hubert, a tenor and theatre director. From his youth he wrote operetta libretti and, in 1913, a first screenplay for Sascha; he later wrote screenplays for more than ninety films and directed nearly thirty, mostly Viennese comedies and operetta films. Nominated for the Oscar for screenwriting in 1946, he died of cancer in Chur, Switzerland.
