Aleksander Hertz
Correction

This filmography entry lists the wrong director. Standard Polish film references identify Jan Pawłowski, not Aleksander Hertz, as the director of *Niewolnica zmysłów* (*Slave of the Senses*).

Full reasoning

The article’s filmography row for "Slave of the Senses" gives Aleksander Hertz as director, but major Polish film reference works list Jan Pawłowski as the director.

  • FilmPolski.pl, the Polish national film database, lists "Reżyseria: Jan Pawłowski" for Niewolnica zmysłów.
  • The 100 Years of Polish Cinema project likewise identifies Niewolnica zmysłów (1914) as directed by Jan Pawłowski.

Hertz was the founder/owner of the Sfinks studio and an important producer in Negri’s early career, which may explain the mix-up, but the directing credit in this row is incorrect.

where she began appearing in silent films for the Berlin-based UFA studio.
Correction

This skips over Negri’s actual first German studio. Her early Berlin film work began with Saturn-Film; UFA came afterward.

Full reasoning

Negri did work for UFA in Germany, but the sentence is inaccurate about where her German screen career began.

  • The Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé states that when Negri left Warsaw for Berlin in 1917, she was "invitée par le studio Saturn-Film" (invited by the Saturn-Film studio).
  • FilmPolski.pl likewise says that in 1917 she began working with German studios including Saturn-Film and UFA, explicitly naming Saturn-Film first and listing UFA titles from 1918 onward.

So her move to Germany did not begin with UFA alone; her first German film work was with Saturn-Film, and only later did she appear in UFA productions.
