Curt Goetz (November 17, 1888 Mainz-September 12, 1960 Grabs) otherwise known as Kurt Walter Götz, Kurt Goetz or Kurt Götz was a Swiss screenwriter, film director, actor and writer.
Goetz was born in Mainz, Germany, but later moved to Switzerland, where he became a Swiss citizen. He began his career as an actor in the 1910s and later transitioned into screenwriting and directing in the 1920s. He is best remembered for his plays and films that were popular in Germany and Switzerland during the 1940s and 1950s.
Goetz's most famous play, "Dr. med. Hiob Prätorius", was adapted into a film by the same name in 1949, which he directed and starred in. He also appeared in several other films, including "Viktor und Viktoria" (1933) and "Der Himmlische Walzer" (1948).
Aside from his work in film and theater, Goetz was also a prolific writer. He wrote several novels, including "Das Haus in der Sonne" (1920) and "Der Grosskophta" (1922), as well as numerous short stories and essays.
Despite his success in the entertainment industry, Goetz was a controversial figure due to his association with Nazi Germany during World War II. He was a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party and created propaganda films for them. After the war, he was temporarily banned from working in the entertainment industry, but was later able to return to his career.
