Re: [Cz-L] Preminger

Speaking of the accomplished and famous folks of Czernowitz, one
should mention film director and producer, Walter Reisch, from nearby
Sadagora.

More info via Google:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0281556/
and
http://www.filmreference.com/Writers-and-Production-Artists-Po-Ro/Reisch-Walter.html

Some of his accomplishments include the films Ninotchka (1939), the
Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker (1959) Titanic (1953), and Journey to the
Center of the Earth (1959).

I have extensive documents and manifests connecting his family to
Rohozna and Sadagora, though he was born in Vienna. I still can't
yet connect him directly to my family, but in due time I'll be
preparing a section about him for my family history site,
<www.reisch-family.net>.

Best wishes,

Bruce
