Sirk, Douglas

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Sirk, Douglas (1900–1987)

German film director. He made such extravagantly lurid Hollywood melodramas as Magnificent Obsession (1954), All that Heaven Allows (1956) and Written on the Wind (1957), praised for their implicit critiques of American post-war capitalist society.

He left Germany in 1937 because of the Nazi regime, and eventually went to Hollywood. He retired in 1959 and returned to Germany.
