You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Kurt Neumann''' (5 April 1908 – 21 August 1958) was a German-born film director who specialized in [[science fiction]] movies in his later career.<ref>[http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=2:104310 Allmovie entry]</ref>

==Biography==
Born in Nuremberg, he was the son of a manufacturer of tin stamps, and he studied music in several German cities, including Berlin. In 1926, he directed his first short movie.

Neumann came to the U.S. in the early sound era, hired to direct German-language versions of Hollywood films. Once he mastered English and established himself as technically proficient in filmmaking, Neumann directed movies such as ''[[The Big Cage]]'' (1932), ''[[Secret of the Blue Room]]'' (1933) with [[Paul Lukas]] and [[Gloria Stuart]], ''Hold 'Em Navy'' (1936), ''[[It Happened in New Orleans (1936 film)|It Happened in New Orleans]]'' (1936) with child star [[Bobby Breen]], ''Wide Open Faces'' (1937) with [[Joe E. Brown]], ''[[Island of Lost Men]]'' and ''Ellery Queen: Master Detective'' in 1939.

Neumann was signed by producer [[Hal Roach]] in 1941 to direct a series of "[[Hal Roach's Streamliners|streamliners]]", 45-minute features designed to fill out short double bills. Among these four-reel comedies were ''About Face'' (1942), ''Brooklyn Orchid'' (1942), ''Taxi, Mister?'' (1943) and ''Yanks Ahoy'' (1943). ''[[Two Knights from Brooklyn]]'' (1949) is compiled from two of those streamliners: ''The McGuerins from Brooklyn'' and ''Taxi, Mister''.

In 1945, he joined the company of producer [[Sol Lesser]], who engaged Neumann as coproducer and principal director of the [[Tarzan]] series produced by Lesser from 1945 to 1954. The Tarzan films were produced for [[RKO]] and starred [[Johnny Weissmuller]] and later [[Gordon Scott]].

Neumann became known as a specialist in science-fiction movies due to his producing and directing ''[[Rocketship X-M]]'' (1950, about an expedition to the Moon and Mars) and ''[[The Fly (1958 film)|The Fly]]'' (1958, about a scientist's teleportation experiment that transforms him into a fly creature). Neumann directed other sci-fi and horror films such as ''[[Kronos (film)|Kronos]]'' (1957) and ''She-Devil'' (1957), and directed other films such as ''The Ring'' (1952) an independent feature co-starring [[Rita Moreno]], ''[[Carnival Story]]'' (1954), ''Mohawk'' (1956), and ''The Deerslayer'' (1957).

Contrary to some published reports, Neumann did not die as a result of suicide, but rather from natural causes in Los Angeles on 21 August 1958, five weeks after filming of ''The Fly'' concluded. He was inurned at the [[Chapel of the Pines Crematory]] in Los Angeles.<ref>((cite news|id=((ProQuest|167255402))|title=Kurt neumann, director, dies in mystery|date=Aug 22, 1958|work=Los Angeles Times))</ref>
