Frigyes Bán

Frigyes Bán, born Frigyes Beller in Kassa on 19 June 1902, came out of a cadet school but did not become an officer. Having joined the Budapest studios as an assistant in the early twenties, he learned every trade of film there, becoming an editor and screenwriter in the thirties. He directed his first film in 1939 and made some forty until 1967; Semmelweis won a prize at Karlovy Vary, and he received the Kossuth Prize three times. A car accident in 1967 prevented him from finishing his last film; he died in Budapest on 30 September 1969.
