Sol M. Wurtzel(1890-1958)
- Producer
- Additional Crew
American production executive, with Fox from 1914 as private secretary to William Fox. From the mid-1930s until 1949, he served as head producer for the 20th Century Fox B-unit. His modestly budgeted films invariably showed a profit. Artistic merit never played a part in Wurtzel's production ethics. In the 1979 biography of his father Alexander Korda ("Charmed Lives"), Michael Korda described Wurtzel as a "cigar-chewing vulgarian who was reputed to make Harry Cohn look like a gentleman by comparison" (p.84).
