László Szirtes (27 October 1904 – 27 March 1959) was a Hungarian actor and film producer. During World War II he was excluded from work due to the country's Anti-Jewish Laws. After the end of the war he was established as a production manager at the Hunnia Studios in Budapest, working on a variety of films during the post-war era. From 1956 he headed one of the three filmmaking groups of the state-controlled Mafilm alongside Lajos Óvári and Jenõ Katona.[1] He is the father of the theatre director Tamás Szirtes.
