BIOGRAPHY

Samson Raphaelson, a prominent screenwriter and playwright, left an indelible mark on classic cinema that physical media collectors cherish to this day. Born in New York City in 1894, he collaborated closely with legendary director Ernst Lubitsch on acclaimed films such as *Trouble in Paradise* (1932) and *The Shop Around the Corner* (1939). His works are not only significant for their storytelling but also for their role in shaping the romantic comedy genre, making titles like *Heaven Can Wait* (1943) highly sought after in DVD and Blu-ray formats. Raphaelson's knack for sharp dialogue and character-driven narratives is evident in *Suspicion* (1941), a film he regarded as his best screenplay, showcasing his versatility alongside master director Alfred Hitchcock.
