Background
Albert Lewin (1894–1968) was an American film director, producer, and screenwriter. Lewin graduated from New York University
with a B.A. in English, followed by a Masters in English from Harvard University, and subsequently taught at the University
of Missouri from 1916 to 1918. He would have gone on to a professorship, if not for a chance viewing of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), which persuaded him to enter the film business.
