Josef von Báky (1902–1966) was a Hungarian filmmaker. He was also known as Josef v. Baky and József Baky. He was born in the town of Zombor in the Kingdom of Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, since 1920 Sombor in Yugoslavia., (now in Vojvodina, Serbia). He worked as an assistant to Geza von Bolvary.[1][2]
He worked as director or producer on no less than 48 films. He died in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
Báky's best known film is Münchhausen, which was released in 1943.[3] It is a fantasy-comedy and is noted for how it avoids politics of its time. The film was ordered by Nazi propaganda-minister Goebbels to celebate 25th anniversary of UFA and to compete with Hollywood productions.
