Maximillian Oppenheimer (OP-ən-hy-mər, 6 May 1902 – 26 March 1957), known as Max Ophüls (AW-fəlss, OH-fəlss) or simply Ophuls, was a German and French film director and screenwriter. He was known for his opulent and lyrical visual style, with heavy use of tracking shots, and his melancholic, romantic themes. The Harvard Film Archive referred to Ophüls as "a supreme stylist of the cinema and a master storyteller."
