Comment by ppint.:

pál tábori was born 16/11/1908 in budapest, in the austro-hungarian empire, and died 9/11/1974. his parents were journalists, his father was murdered in 1944, but both he, his brother gyorgi (george) and their mother were able to escape germany and the holocaust earlier. between the world wars pál/paul tábori travelled widely, working as a screenwriter as well as a newspaper foreign correspondent.

he gained a phd in psychology and a professorship before concentrating upon his journalism, including broadcasting from london during the second world war, which he combined with his activism in the protection and freeing from prison of journalists and writers, and writing books on a range of nonfictional subjects, including enquiries into magic, mysticism and the occult - and also revealing and publicising fraudulent exploitation of beliefs in these areas; and an increasing interest in sexuality and eroticism is apparent in both his studies, and his published non-fiction and fiction.

he also found the time and the energy to work for alexander korda's london films from about 1943-1948, and in hollywood 1950-51; writing, including theatre and film screenplays, over thirty theatre productions and over a hundred of a wide variety of film screenplays.
