István Székely

István Székely was born in Budapest on 25 February 1899. He began his career in Germany, first as a journalist, then in cinema, before returning to Hungary in the early thirties; there he made some thirty films in a few years, mostly comedies. Fleeing the rise of fascism and the anti-Jewish laws, he went to the United States, where he began working in 1939 and, under the name Steve Sekely, directed mainly B-films, as well as one of the first television dramas. He died in Palm Springs on 9 March 1979.
