The director Josef von Baky worked during his school time as a projectionist and later managed - with financial help of his father who was the owner of the Budapest Urania cinema - a film distribution which went bankrupt two years later.

After this setback he run a hotel in Abbazia by order of a Hungarian bank.
In this time Josef von Baky got married with singer Julia Nemeth.

When he went to Berlin in 1927 he took part in the movie "Frauenarzt Dr. Schäfer" (28) as an extra. Later he met director Geza von Bolvary who engaged him as an assistant director for the next eight years.
Joseph von Baky realised his first own movie as a director only in 1936 with the title "Intermezzo" (36). Till the end of war he realised some productions, among them "Der Kleinstadtpoet" (40), the large production "Münchhausen" (43) and "Via Mala" (44).

After the war he became established as a reliable director who was at home in all genres. He shot the financial very successful movies "Und über uns der Himmel" (47), "Das doppelte Lottchen" (50), "Robinson soll nicht sterben" (56), "Die Frühreifen" (57), "Gestehen Sie, Dr. Corda! (58) and "Der Mann, der sich verkaufte" (59).
