Live and act
Born in today's Romania, Károly Nóti began his professional activity in 1918 for the Klausenburg newspaper "Keleti Újság". After the city was closed to Romania as a result of the peace treaty, Nóti returned to the Hungarian heartland in 1919. There he initially wrote texts and pieces for cabaret stages. Based in Budapest since 1923, he wrote comedies for the Terézkörúti Theater, among others. In 1928 he moved to the Budapest comedy theater for two years.
In 1930, at the same time as the age of talkies, Károly Nóti settled in Berlin and was hired as a screenwriter. Until 1933, the Hungarian, who, to make pronunciation easier, Germanized himself in Karl Noti, wrote mainly scripts for cheerful subjects. The majority of the comedies and comedies, which he wrote, produced in collaboration with the German colleagues Bobby E. Lüthge . As a result of the seizure of power by the National Socialists , Noti left Germany again. In Vienna and Budapest he continued his work as a screenwriter for émigré films. In 1935, he was unnamed in the script for the Hollywood musical I dance into your heart , a hit with the audience with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers . Then, in 1936, he wrote the screenplay for the French film Mister Flow for Robert Siodmak . In 1938 he and his German colleague Robert Thoeren wrote the manuscript for Le dompteur , another French film. In the same year he collaborated on the script for the Hollywood production The Girl Downstairs with the Hungarian exiled Franziska Gaal in the lead role.
At this time, the National Socialist racial laws also took effect in Hungary, and Károly Nóti only got sporadic opportunities to watch the film. He worked temporarily as a cabaret writer and was re-admitted as a screenwriter in 1940/41, before he was arrested and temporarily interned in December 1941 as part of a so-called purge campaign. In 1943 he continued his work in Hungarian film, but at the end of the Second World War he and his wife had to go into hiding as a racially endangered person. In 1945 he took up his film work again and wrote the screenplay for a Hungarian comedy film with Theo Lingen ( Tanzrausch ). From 1947 to 1949 Károly Nóti went to cabaret again, where he worked as a dramaturge .
In the Federal Republic of Germany , a Noti template was used in 1950 for the comedy When Men Swindles , in 1953 one of his plays was adapted for the Rühmann comedy No fear of large animals . A year after his death, in 1955, a remake of Notis Drei Tage Mittelarrest was released in German cinemas.
