Though he got his start in Germany, writer-director Billy Wilder would really make his mark in the Hollywood film industry after leaving Europe following the rise of Hitler and the Nazis in Germany. After paying his dues as a screenwriter, he made his directorial debut (as a way to protect his scripts) with the screwball comedy The Major and the Minor (1942). For his follow up, he changed tracks with the topical WWII drama Five Graves to Cairo. Though originally released theatrically by Paramount, Universal – the current rights holder – has licensed the movie to Kino for its Blu-ray debut.
