In a prolific 30-year career beginning in 1921, Stromberg produced, wrote, and directed some of Hollywood's most profitable and enduring films, including The Thin Man series, the Nelson Eddy/Jeanette MacDonald operettas, The Women, and The Great Ziegfeld, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1936.

Biography

Hunt Stromberg est le producteur (parfois exécutif) de soixante-douze films américains, de 1922 à 1951 — année où il se retire —, d'abord en indépendant, puis au sein de la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) entre 1925 et 1942, enfin à nouveau en indépendant.

Durant sa période MGM, où il collabore notamment avec Louis B. Mayer et Irving Thalberg, il produit bon nombre de films bien connus (voir la liste sélective ci-dessous), dont plusieurs de la série cinématographique consacrée au détective Nick Charles (joué par William Powell) et à son épouse Nora (interprétée par Myrna Loy), réalisés par W. S. Van Dyke — le premier étant L'Introuvable (1932) —. Parmi les autres réalisateurs avec lesquels il travaille à plusieurs reprises, citons Clarence Brown, Jack Conway, George Cukor, Victor Fleming et Robert Z. Leonard.

Hunt Stromberg est lui-même réalisateur de treize films muets (la plupart sont des courts métrages dont il est également producteur) de 1922 à 1925 et, en outre, scénariste de quatre films.
