Mikhail Schweitzer

Mikhail (Moisei) Abramovich Schweitzer (Russian: Михаил (Моисей) Абрамович Швейцер, 16 February 1920, Perm – 2 June 2000, Moscow) was a Soviet and Russian film director and screenwriter. People's Artist of the USSR (1990).

Mikhail Schweitzer graduated from the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography in the directing class of the Sergei Eisenstein art workshop. He started to work at Mosfilm since 1943. Schweitzer was an assistant director of Man No 217 film production in 1944. Mikhail Romm was a director of that film. When Schweitzer lost his job after his first movie Glorious Path which was filming in the contestation with a cosmopolitism period, he could be accepted to work at Sverdlovsk Film Studio only with Mikhail Romm's help.
