Production and release
Development
In June 1959 it was announced that Don Mankiewicz would write a screenplay of an unpublished story by Mauri Grashin, Day Keene, and Dwight Babcock  By December 1960, with the project titled Chautauqua, MGM was ready to make the film with Glenn Ford  Rumours circulating in Hollywood at the time stated that Presley would co-star with Ford, Hope Lange, and Arthur O'Connell, but nothing came of it and the film was shelved 
In 1964, Dick Van Dyke had been signed up to star in a film titled Chautauqua based on a book called Morally We Roll Along by Gay MacLaren  After several years of failed screenplays and cast changes, MGM sold the rights to Columbia Pictures in May 1965  Columbia also struggled to get the project off the ground, and in April 1968 sold the rights back to MGM  This time MGM lined up Presley to star and production began in the fall of 1968  Chautauqua was the working title, but it was later changed to The Trouble with Girls when the producers worried that audiences would not understand the title or be able to pronounce it 

Filming
Elvis Presley was paid $850,000 plus 50% of the profits  Production ran from October 28 to December 18, 1968 Colonel Tom Parker, Presley's manager, originally wanted actress Jean Hale for the female lead, but Marlyn Mason was cast at the insistence of director Peter Tewksbury  Ironically, Jean Hale's husband, Dabney Coleman, would later be cast 
The Trouble with Girls was released as the bottom half of a double feature, sharing the screen with the Raquel Welch drama Flareup 

Reception
The Trouble with Girls (and How to Get into It) performed poorly in cinemas but strongly on the drive-in circuit 
Roger Greenspun of The New York Times called it "a charming though ineptly titled comedy" with Presley performing "a reasonably developed characterization as the chautauqua company manager, and he sings very well " Variety wrote, "Elvis Presley is lost in this one  Without star’s usual assortment of 10 to 12 songs, and numbers cut down to a bare three, picture has little to offer  Title suggests a gay comedy but it’s a mass of contrived melodramatics and uninteresting performances that do not jell into anything but program fare " Margaret Harford of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film "never makes up its mind where to go and how to get there     The trouble with the picture is not girls; it's indecision by the writers, Arnold and Lois Peyser about whether we should laugh at the corny entertainment of 40-odd years ago, or cry over the troubles of a lonely widow who drinks too much " The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote, "The plot's rather curious blend of amateur theatricals, folksy humour and straight melodrama strains credulity even for a Presley film, and the few songs are instantly forgettable  Vincent Price makes an odd and quite appealing guest appearance as an itinerant lecturer known as Mr  Morality, but Presley himself seems uninterested in the whole affair "

Soundtrack
Entering the studio for The Trouble with Girls, Presley found himself in the position of knowing he had the goods in the can with his looming comeback television special but given that his last three singles – "You'll Never Walk Alone," "Your Time Hasn't Come Yet Baby," "A Little Less Conversation" – and the Speedway album all tanked, faced a practically dead recording career  The soundtrack contained some minor songs, its only distinctive track by Billy Strange, the producer of the session, and Mac Davis The recording session took place at United Artists Recorders in Hollywood, on October 23, 1968  "Clean Up Your Own Backyard" by Strange and Davis, their fourth successful submission to a Presley soundtrack in a row, was the only one released concurrently with the film's release, as the single RCA 47-9747 in 1969, peaking at #35 on the Billboard Hot 100  "Almost" would appear in 1970 on the budget album Let's Be Friends, the only other track from the film to be released during Presley's lifetime  His remake of the His Hand in Mine track "Swing Down Sweet Chariot" would not see release until 1983 on Elvis: A Legendary Performer Volume 4  The other songs would wait to be issued until RCA's soundtrack compilations of the 1990s combining released songs and outtakes from multiple films on one compact disc

Plot
In 1943, British Intelligence in Cairo recruits Italian  criminal mastermind Roberto Rocca, demolitions expert and Irish Republican Army member Terence Scanlon, forger Simon Fell, cold-blooded assassin John Durrell, and thief and impersonator Jean Saval for a dangerous mission  The men are offered pardons in exchange for attempting to rescue an Italian general sympathetic to the Allies who is imprisoned in German-occupied Yugoslavia  The group is led by Major Richard Mace, who is trying to expiate his feelings of guilt for sending his own brother on a dangerous mission and waiting too long to extricate him  The fishing boat transporting Mace's team is stopped by a patrol boat, but they dispose of the Germans 
With the assistance of local partisans led by Marko, they split up and enter Dubrovnik  Durrell is partnered with Mila, a recent widow with a baby  They are attracted to each other, but Durrell becomes extremely distraught when he accidentally smothers her crying child to avoid detection by a German patrol  The team is captured and taken to the same fortress where the Italian general is being kept  They are tortured for information, but manage to escape and fulfill their mission, although Mace, Mila, Fell, Scanlon, and Saval are killed while fending off German troops 
At the last minute, Rocca and Durrell discover that the man they have freed is an impostor, and he is about to exhort "his" troops to stay loyal to the Axis  Durrell pretends to be a Nazi fanatic and shoots the fake general; he is killed by the outraged Italians  Rocca, the last man standing, directs the Italians' anger to the Germans 

Cast
Production
After turning out a treatment based on the locale of Dubrovnik, Roger Corman teamed with screenwriter R  Wright Campbell who had a project, Dubious Patriots about a wartime mission involving convicts  The script was taken over by producer David V  Picker at United Artists, who was able to leverage the screenplay into a well-financed studio production  With a budget of $600,000, more than twice more than he had for his earlier independently-funded features, Corman was able to start production in between his Edgar Allan Poe adaptations, The Masque of the Red Death and The Tomb of Ligeia (1964) The original cast was Mickey Rooney, Raf Vallone, Edd Byrnes and Bobby Darin  Brendan Behan was to be adviser for scenes set at Borstal Prison  It was Byrnes first role after his contract with Warner Bros ended In August 1963 it was announced that Darin had pulled out of the film on the orders of his doctor, and he was replaced by Henry Silva  Also that month Stewart Granger signed to star Principal photography under the working title of Dubious Patriots took place on location in Dubrovnik and other parts of Yugoslavia in the summer of 1963 for a typically short Corman shooting schedule of 36 days  With the assistance of the Yugoslavian government, a large number of military personnel and equipment were offered, but an earthquake threatened to delay the production when troops were siphoned off to help in the relief effort Corman's problems extended to not only wrangling military extras, but also to dealing with the emotions of a star like Stewart Granger "stooping" to make a "B film" and worrying that his role was not as prominent as the others in the ensemble cast  At one point, Corman actually rewrote his part "on the spot" so that Granger had more lines than Edd Byrnes, his co-star, who was a current popular television star The production was photographed in Panavision with Eastmancolor film (Gene Corman later reused the title The Dubious Patriots for another film he made with Tony Curtis and Charles Bronson )

Reception
In a contemporary review of The Secret Invasion, The New York Times film reviewer Howard Thompson saw some positives in what was basically a "programmer": 

    a rather surprising amount of brisk muscularity and panoramic color, if not always credibility  The casting of this United Artists release, which arrived at the Criterion and other houses, may make some customers blink and wait for the worst     But they, and the picture, do pretty well, considering 

In Brassey's Guide to War Films, film historian Alun Evans considered the production exemplified Corman's ability to "    create something out of nothing " He also noted that The Secret Invasion has some notoriety as  "    the  sawn-off antecedent of The Dirty Dozen "

Edward Yates
Edward J  Yates (September 16, 1918 – June 2, 2006) was an American television director who was the director of the ABC television program American Bandstand from 1952 until 1969 

Biography
Yates became a still photographer after graduating from high school in 1936  After serving in World War II, he became employed by Philadelphia's WFIL-TV as a boom microphone operator  He was later promoted to cameraman (important as most programming was done live and local during the early years of television) and earned a bachelor's degree in communications in 1950 from the University of Pennsylvania 
In October 1952, Yates volunteered to direct Bandstand, a new concept featuring local teens dancing to the latest hits patterned after the "950 Club" on WPEN-AM  The show debuted with Bob Horn as host and took off after Dick Clark, already a radio veteran at age 26, took over in 1956 
It was broadcast live in its early years, even after it became part of the ABC network's weekday afternoon lineup in 1957 as American Bandstand  Yates pulled records, directed the cameras, queued the commercials and communicated with Clark via a private line telephone located on his podium

Passage 5:
Roger Corman
Roger William Corman (born April 5, 1926) is an American film director, producer, and actor  Known under various monikers such as "The Pope of Pop Cinema", "The Spiritual Godfather of the New Hollywood", and "The King of Cult", he is known as a trailblazer in the world of independent film  Many of Corman's films are based on works that have an already-established critical reputation, such as his cycle of low-budget cult films adapted from the tales of Edgar Allan Poe In 1964, Corman—admired by members of the French New Wave and Cahiers du Cinéma—became the youngest filmmaker to have a retrospective at the Cinémathèque Française, as well as in the British Film Institute and the Museum of Modern Art  He was the co-founder of New World Pictures, the founder of New Concorde and is a longtime member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences  In 2009, he was awarded an Honorary Academy Award "for his rich engendering of films and filmmakers" Corman is also famous for distributing in the U S  many foreign directors, such as Federico Fellini (Italy), Ingmar Bergman (Sweden), François Truffaut (France) and Akira Kurosawa (Japan)  He mentored and gave a start to many young film directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, Peter Bogdanovich, Joe Dante, John Sayles, and James Cameron, and was highly influential in the New Hollywood filmmaking movement of the 1960s and 1970s  He also helped to launch the careers of actors like Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Bruce Dern, Diane Ladd, and William Shatner  Corman has occasionally taken minor acting roles in the films of directors who started with him, including The Silence of the Lambs, The Godfather Part II, Apollo 13, The Manchurian Candidate, and Philadelphia A documentary about Corman's life and career entitled Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel, directed by Alex Stapleton, premiered at the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals in 2011  The film's TV rights were picked up by A&E IndieFilms after a well-received screening at Sundance 

Early life
Corman was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Anne (née High) and William Corman, an engineer  His younger brother, Gene, produced numerous films, sometimes in collaboration with Roger  Corman and his brother were raised Catholic Corman went to Beverly Hills High School and then to Stanford University to study industrial engineering  While at Stanford, Corman realized he did not want to be an engineer  He enlisted in the V-12 Navy College Training Program with six months of study to complete  After serving in the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946, he returned to Stanford to finish his degree, receiving a Bachelor of Science in industrial engineering in 1947  While at Stanford University, Corman was initiated in the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon 
In 1948, he worked briefly at U S  Electrical Motors on Slauson Avenue in Los Angeles, but his career in engineering lasted only four days; he began work on Monday and quit on Thursday, telling his boss "I've made a terrible mistake " Gene Corman was already working in the film industry as an agent, and Roger decided to go into filmmaking instead 

Early film career
Corman found work at 20th Century Fox initially in the mail room  He worked his way up to a story reader  The one property that he liked the most and provided ideas for was filmed as The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck  When Corman received no credit at all, he left Fox and decided he would work in film by himself  Under the G I  Bill, Corman studied English literature at Oxford University and lived in Paris for a time 

He then returned to Los Angeles and tried to re-establish himself in the film industry  He took various jobs, including television stagehand at KLAC and a messenger at Fox  He worked as an assistant to agent Dick Hyland, a literary agent 

Highway Dragnet
Corman wrote a script in his spare time and sold it to William F  Broidy at Allied Artists for $2,000  "Dick thought it was funny and let me pay myself a commission," said Corman  Originally called House in the Sea, it was retitled Highway Dragnet (1953) and starred Richard Conte and Joan Bennett  Corman also worked as associate producer on the film for nothing, just for the experience 

Producer
Corman used his script fee and personal contacts to raise $12,000 to produce his first feature, a science-fiction film, Monster from the Ocean Floor (1954)  It was produced by Corman's own company, Palo Alto, and released by Robert L  Lippert 
The film did well enough to encourage Corman to produce another film, the racing-car thriller The Fast and the Furious (1955), directed by its star, John Ireland, and co-starring Dorothy Malone  Decades later, producer Neal H  Moritz and Universal Pictures licensed the title for the 2001 film, The Fast and the Furious, which eventually spawned a huge franchise  Moritz had difficulty choosing between proposed titles Racer X, Redline, Race Wars, and Street Wars, and was inspired by a documentary on American International Pictures that included Corman's film  Moritz was able to trade the use of some stock footage to Corman for use of the title Corman sold the movie to a new independent company, the American Releasing Company (ARC), run by James H  Nicholson and Samuel Z  Arkoff  Although Corman had a number of offers for the film from Republic and Columbia, he elected to go with ARC because they undertook to advance money to enable him to make two more movies 

Director
Corman's second film for ARC was one he decided to direct, Five Guns West (1955), a Western, made in color for around $60,000, with Malone and John Lund  The script was written by Robert Wright Campbell, who worked with Corman on several more occasions 
Corman announced he would make four more projects for ARC: High Steel, Cobra, Fortress Beneath the Sea, and an untitled film from Campbell  Instead, Corman did some uncredited directing on The Beast with a Million Eyes (1955), then made another Western, Apache Woman (1955), starring Lloyd Bridges, written by Lou Rusoff  Rusoff and Corman reunited on Day the World Ended (1955), a postapocalyptic science-fiction film, which was popular 
Corman was to make The Devil on Horseback by Charles B  Griffith about the Brownsville Raid, but it was too expensive 
The Woolner Brothers, Louisiana drive-in owners, financed Corman's Swamp Women (1956), a girls-on-the-lam saga 
He returned to ARC for two Westerns, The Oklahoma Woman (1956) and Gunslinger (1956) (with Ireland); Gunslinger was co-written by Griffith, who became a crucial collaborator with Corman over the next five years  He bought a script from Curtis Harrington, The Girl from Beneath the Sea  Harrington made it for Corman years later as Night Tide (1961) 
Beverly Garland, one of Corman's early regular stock players, recalled working with him:

Roger made us work hard and long, I remember that! He was always fascinating to me, a fascinating man – and a good businessman! He had such incredible energy, it was tremendous – he was a dynamo to be around  I always knew he was going to be a huge success because there was no stopping him  He just made up his mind that he was going to be a success and that was it 

American International Pictures and Allied Artists
ARC changed its name to American International Pictures  Corman was established as their leading filmmaker  They financed Corman's next film as director, the science-fiction story It Conquered the World (1956)  Co-written by Griffith, it was a follow-up to The Day the World Ended  It was a big hit 
He optioned a TV play, The Stake, and hoped to get Dana Andrews to star  It was never made  Instead, Walter Mirisch of Allied Artists hired Corman to make The Undead (1957), inspired by The Search for Bridey Murphy  Griffith wrote the script 
In June, Corman made a science-fiction film for Allied Artists,  Not of this Earth (1957), written by Griffith 
In August 1956, AIP financed a Corman heist movie shot in Hawaii, Naked Paradise (1957), co-written by Griffith  Corman shot it back-to-back with a movie made with his own money, She Gods of Shark Reef (1958)  Corman wound up selling the movie to AIP 
Corman and Griffith reunited in Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957) for Allied, which wound up being one of his most successful early films For his own production company, Corman made a rock-and-roll "quickle", Carnival Rock (1957), released by Howco  Rock All Night (1957) was a heist film written by Griffith expanded from a TV play, "The Little Guy", with musical acts inserted He was meant to make Rock'n'Roll Girl for AIP in December 1957 In April 1957, Corman announced he would try to make two films back-to-back from then on to save costs Corman made two "teen girl noirs", Teenage Doll (1957) for the Woolner Brothers and Sorority Girl (1957), starring Susan Cabot for AIP For AIP, he made The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent (1957), shot in August 1957  He was meant to follow this with Teenage Jungle by Tony Miller The success of Not of this Earth and Crab Monsters led to Allied offering Corman a four-picture deal for 1958 

Machine Gun Kelly and producing
Corman received his first serious critical praise for Machine-Gun Kelly (1958), an AIP biopic of the famous gangster, which gave Charles Bronson his first leading role and co-starred Cabot  Campbell wrote the script 
Also for AIP, he did Teenage Caveman (1958), with Robert Vaughn, originally titled Prehistoric World 
He helped produce two films for Allied Artists, both from scripts by Leo Gordon: Hot Car Girl (1958), directed by Bernard Kowalski and produced by his brother Gene (the first film they made together) from a script by Gordon; and The Cry Baby Killer (1958), which gave Jack Nicholson his first starring role 
He had his biggest budget yet for I Mobster (1958), a gangster story, co-produced by Edward L  Alperson and Corman's brother Gene for 20th Century Fox  In September 1958, he was reported as scouting locations in Australia to do a remake of H  Rider Haggard's She War of the Satellites (1958) was conceived and shot in record time to take advantage of the Sputnik launch; it was his first collaboration with art director Daniel Haller 
Corman also produced, but did not direct, Stakeout on Dope Street (1958), directed by Irvin Kershner, Night of the Blood Beast (1958), directed by Kowalski for AIP, using leftover costumes from Teenage Caveman, and Crime and Punishment U S A  (1959), directed by Dennis Sanders with George Hamilton in his first lead role 

The Filmgroup
In January 1959, Corman announced he would be moving into distribution In 1959, Corman founded The Filmgroup with his brother Gene, a company producing or releasing low-budget black-and-white films as double features for drive-ins and action houses  In February 1959, Filmgroup announced they would release 10 films  Their first movies were High School Big Shot (1959) and T-Bird Gang (1959) produced by Stanley Bickman 

For AIP, Corman and Griffith made a black comedy, A Bucket of Blood (1959)  Corman announced he would follow it with a similar comedy, The Bloodshot Private Eye  It does not seem to have been made  Instead, Griffith reused the same script structure and Corman employed many of the same cast in The Little Shop of Horrors (1960)  This film was reputedly shot in two days and one night For Filmgroup, Corman directed The Wasp Woman (1959), starring Cabot from a script by Gordon  His brother and he made two films back-to-back in South Dakota: Ski Troop Attack (1960), a war movie written by Griffith and directed by Corman, and Beast from Haunted Cave (1959), the first film directed by Monte Hellman 
Corman went to Puerto Rico and produced another two films back-to-back: Battle of Blood Island (1960), directed by Joel Rapp, and Last Woman on Earth (1960), directed by Corman from a script by Robert Towne  Filming on these two films went so quickly that Corman commissioned Griffith to write a third, which was shot at the same time: Creature from the Haunted Sea (1961) 
Corman was going to make Part Time Mother from a script by Griffith but it appears to have never been made 

House of Usher
AIP wanted Corman to make two horror films for them, in black and white, at under $100,000 each on a 10-day shooting schedule  Corman, however, was tired of making films on this sort of budget and was worried the market for them was in decline  He proposed making a film in colour for $200,000, shot over 15 days  Corman proposed an adaptation of "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe and AIP agreed  The film was announced in May 1959 Richard Matheson was hired to do the adaptation and Vincent Price was brought in to star; Haller did the art direction  The resulting film, House of Usher (1960), shot in early 1960, was a critical and commercial hit 
Following this, Corman bought two scripts, Sob Sisters Don't Cry and Cop Killer  In March 1960, Corman announced that Filmgroup would be part of an international production group, Compass Productions  He directed a peplum in Greece, Atlas (1961) in August 
He was going to direct a thriller from a script by Robert Towne, I Flew a Spy Plane Over Russia  It was not made; neither were two comedies he was to make with Dick Miller and Jon Haze, Murder at the Convention and Pan and the Satyrs House of Usher had been so successful that AIP wanted a follow-up, and Corman, Haller, Matheson and Price reunited on The Pit and the Pendulum (1961)  It was another sizeable hit, and the "Poe cycle" of films was underway 
Corman hired Charles Beaumont to write Masque of the Red Death and announced two films, Captain Nemo and the Floating City and House of Secrets 

The Intruder
Following The Pit and the Pendulum, Corman directed one of William Shatner's earliest appearances in a lead role with The Intruder (a k a  The Stranger, 1962)  Based on a novel by Charles Beaumont, the film was co-produced by Gene Corman and was shot in July and August 1961  It took a while for the film to be released and it lost money Corman was unhappy with his profit participation on the first two Poe films, so he made a third adaptation for different producers, The Premature Burial (1962), written by Charles Beaumont and starring Ray Milland  The film was co-financed by Pathe labs; AIP put pressure on Pathe and ended up buying out their interest 
For producer Edward Small, Corman made a historical horror piece about Richard III, Tower of London (1962), starring Vincent Price   It was meant to be the first in a three-picture deal with Small, but Corman did not enjoy working with the producer 
For Filmgroup, he also bought the rights to a Soviet science-fiction film, Nebo Zovyot (1959) and had some additional footage shot for it by his then-assistant, Francis Ford Coppola; the result was Battle Beyond the Sun (1962)  He also released The Magic Voyage of Sinbad (1962), dubbed from a Soviet film 
The fourth Poe was an anthology, Tales of Terror (1962), shot in late 1961  One of the installments, "The Black Cat", was a comedy, inspiring Corman to do a whole Poe story comedically next: The Raven (1963)  Later, Corman used the sets for that film for The Terror (1963), made for Filmgroup but released by AIP, and starring Boris Karloff (whose scenes were all shot in two days) and Jack Nicholson  Corman did not direct all of this film; additional scenes were shot by Monte Hellman, Coppola, and Jack Hill, among others 
The Young Racers (1963) was produced and directed by Corman in Europe for AIP, starring and written by Campbell  Working on the film was Francis Ford Coppola, whom Corman financed to make his directorial debut, Dementia 13 (1963) 
Back in the U S , Corman made X: The Man with the X-ray Eyes (1963), a contemporary science-fiction film for AIP starring Ray Milland  He followed it with The Haunted Palace (1963), ostensibly part of the Poe cycle—it featured Price and was made for AIP, written by Beaumont—but was actually based on a story by H  P  Lovecraft 
Corman directed a war film in Yugoslavia with his brother, The Secret Invasion (1964), with Stewart Granger and Mickey Rooney, from a script by Campbell  Following this, he announced he would make The Life of Robert E  Lee as part of a four-picture deal with Filmgroup worth $3 75 million  Other movies were Fun and Profit by Joel Rapp, The Wild Surfers by John Lamb, and Planet of Storms by Jack Hill  None of these films was made, nor was The Gold Bug, a Poe adaptation written by Griffith 

End of the Poe cycle and filming in Europe
Corman made two Poes in England starring Price, the much-delayed The Masque of the Red Death (1964), with Campbell rewriting Beaumont's scripts, and The Tomb of Ligeia (1965), from a script by Robert Towne  Corman made no further Poes; AIP started up a fresh Poe cycle in the late 1960s, but Corman was not part of it 
Corman got Towne to write a script called The Red Baron  He bought the rights to another Soviet science-fiction film, Planeta Bur (1962), and had some additional footage added to it by Curtis Harrington  The result was Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (1965)  Harrington used footage from Planeta Bur in another film financed by Corman, Queen of Blood (1966) 
He also bought the rights to a Yugoslavian film, Operation Titan (1963), and financed additional shooting by Jack Hill and Stephanie Rothman  The result was Blood Bath (1966)  He also had an investment in the beach party films Beach Ball (1965) and It's a Bikini World (1967) 

Working for major studios
Corman said, "For ten years as an independent I could get financing for $100-$200-$300,000 pictures  Everything had been interesting, artistically satisfying, economically satisfying  But I decided I was going nowhere and wanted to move directly into the business  So I accepted a contract with Columbia "In August 1965, Corman announced he had signed a contract with United Artists to make two films over three years  He also signed with Columbia to make a Western, The Long Ride Home, based on a script by Robert Towne He was announced for a number of other projects at Columbia: the biopic of Robert E  Lee, an adaptation of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, an adaptation of Kafka's The Penal Colony, and a script by novelist Richard Yates about the Battle of Iwo Jima  He intended to make The Deserters for UA, from a script by Wright, but that was not made either He later reflected, "Every idea I submitted was considered too strange, too weird; every idea they had seemed too ordinary to me  Ordinary pictures don't make money "

The Wild Angels
After a year of not directing, Corman took a leave of absence under his contract with Columbia to make a film for AIP, the first biker movie, The Wild Angels  It starred Peter Fonda and Nancy Sinatra, from a script by Griffith; Peter Bogdanovich worked as Corman's assistant  The film opened the 1966 Venice Film Festival and was hugely successful at the box office, making over $6 million on a $350,000 budget and kicking off the "biker movie" cycle He wanted to make a film about the Red Baron, but Columbia turned it down because of The Blue Max (1966)  He proposed a movie about the St Valentine's Day Massacre and also an adaptation of the novel Only Lovers Left Alive  Nick Ray was meant to be making Only Lovers in Britain 
Corman did begin directing Long Ride Home with Glenn Ford at Columbia  However, Corman left production a few weeks into the shoot in June 1966 and was replaced by Phil Karlson  The film was retitled A Time for Killing (1967) 
Corman received an offer to direct a studio film,The St  Valentine's Day Massacre (1967), for 20th Century Fox, starring Jason Robards and George Segal  He did not enjoy the restrictions of working for a major studio  He was given a $2 5 million budget and made it for $400,000 less  Corman, an independent director, was most comfortable in his own style:  shoestring budgets and shooting schedules measured in days, rather than weeks  Nonetheless, it is generally considered one of his best films as a director 
Corman was meant to follow this with Robert E  Lee for United Artists at a budget of $4 5 million  It was not made  Neither was a story Corman optioned, The Spy in the Vatican 

Return to independence
He continued to finance films for Filmgroup: Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (1965), dubbing a Soviet movie Planeta Bur into English with some additional footage shot by Curtis Harrington, Queen of Blood (1966), using some Soviet footage but a mostly new film, directed by Harrington, Blood Bath (1966), an adapted Yugoslavian film with additional footage shot by Stephanie Rothman and Jack Hill, and  Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1967), yet another dubbed version of Planeta Bur with some additional footage shot by Corman's then-assistant Peter Bogdanovich 
He had money in Navy vs  the Night Monsters (1967)  He financed two Westerns shot back to back in Utah, directed by Monte Hellman and written and co-produced by Jack Nicholson, The Shooting (1967) and Ride in the Whirlwind (1967), which became cult successes  He also financed two films directed by Dan Haller, Devil's Angels (1967), a follow-up to Wild Angels written by Griffith, and a car racing film shot in Europe, The Wild Racers (1968)  He announced a comedy about the population explosion, There Just Isn't Any Room, but it appears to have never been made Corman directed The Trip for AIP, written by Jack Nicholson and starring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Bruce Dern  This began the psychedelic film craze of the late 1960s and was the American entry at Cannes that year  AIP made some changes to the film in post-production, which made Corman unhappy 
In September 1967, he announced plans to build a new film studio  However, this did not happen for a number of years 
Corman made a film for American TV, Target: Harry (1968), shot in Europe with his brother producing  He did some uncredited directing on AIP's De Sade (1969) when director Cy Endfield fell ill  He financed Bogdanovich's first feature, Targets (1968), which incorporated footage from The Terror  He also produced The Dunwich Horror (1970) for AIP, directed by Haller and co-written by Curtis Hanson, and financed Haller's Paddy 

Final films as director
For AIP, Corman returned to the director's chair for a gangster film, Bloody Mama (1970), starring Shelley Winters and a young Robert de Niro  It was a big hit at the box office  He also directed a black comedy, Gas-s-s-s (1970), written by George Armitage; it was cut without his permission by AIP and was a financial failure United Artists finally agreed to finance his Red Baron project, although they asked that it emphasize American characters  Accordingly, it was filmed as Von Richthofen and Brown (1971), shot in Ireland in July 1970  There were several plane crashes during filming and one person died Corman was going to make a film of Couples, a novel by John Updike for United Artists, and In from a script by Richard Schupe, but decided to take a break from directing 
"Directing is very hard and very painful," he said in 1971  "Producing is easy  I can do it without really thinking about it "

New World Pictures
In May 1970, Corman founded New World Pictures, which became a small independently owned production/distribution studio, immediately successful with Angels Die Hard (1970), a biker film, and The Student Nurses (1971), directed by Rothman   The Big Doll House (1971), directed by Jack Hill in the Philippines, was a big hit, making a star of Pam Grier  The company made a profit of $3 2 million in its first financial year, and Corman says all eleven out of his first eleven films were successful   Angels Die Hard led to a series of biker films, including Angels Hard as They Come (1971), produced by Jonathan Demme with Jack Fisk working as art director  Bury Me an Angel (1971) was the first biker movie directed by a woman, Barbara Peeters  Corman financed the directorial debuts of Curtis Hanson, Sweet Kill (1971), produced by Corman protege Tamara Asseyev   Student Nurses led to a "cycle" of nurse pictures, including Private Duty Nurses (the first film directed by George Armitage), Night Call Nurses (1972) (the first feature directed by Jonathan Kaplan), The Young Nurses and Candy Stripe Nurses (1975)  There was also The Student Teachers (1973) and Summer School Teachers (1974)   Big Doll House was followed by a series of women in prison pictures, such as Women in Cages (1972), The Hot Box (1972), Black Mama, White Mama (1973), The Arena (1974) (the first film directed by Steve Carver) and Caged Heat (1974) (the first film directed by Demme)   Of New World's second year, Corman says 11 of the 12 releases were successful   Corman produced one more film at AIP, Boxcar Bertha (1972), the second feature directed by Martin Scorsese, starring David Carradine  He also executive produced Unholy Rollers (1972) for AIP   A proposed political satire, The Wild Political Prank, was not made   He made I Escaped from Devil's Island (1973) with his brother and produced Cockfighter (1974) with Monte Hellman, which was a rare financial failure for New World   A big hit was Big Bad Mama (1974), a gangster film directed by Carver and starring Angie Dickinson  It led to a follow-up, Crazy Mama (1975), produced by his wife and directed by Demme   In 1975, Corman said New World was "the most successful independent film company in the country   if you count AIP as a major"  He said they were "the best of the cheap acts" 

Distributing foreign films
In the 1970s the major Hollywood studios were moving away from distributing foreign arthouse pictures, New World moved into the market and became the U S  distributor for Cries and Whispers (1972), directed by Ingmar Bergman  Corman bought it for $75,000 and it earned over $2 million at the U S  box office  and Corman's distribution side of New World brought many foreign films to mass audiences in the U S  for the first time - reportedly some played at drive-ins and grindhouses - including the works of François Truffaut (The Story of Adele H , Small Change), Peter Weir (The Cars That Ate Paris), Federico Fellini (Amarcord), Joseph Losey (The Romantic Englishwoman), Volker Schlöndorff (The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum, The Tin Drum) and Akira Kurosawa (Dersu Uzala)  New World also released Fantastic Planet (1974)

20th Century Fox
He had a four-picture deal with 20th Century Fox, making Capone (1975), Fighting Mad (1976) (directed by Demme), Moving Violation (1976) and Thunder and Lightning (1977) 

Peak of New World
Death Race 2000 (1975), written by Robert Thom and directed by Paul Bartel, was a big hit, earning $4 million  It helped inspire a series of car chase movies: Cannonball (1976), directed by Bartel; Eat My Dust! (1976), directed by Griffith starring Ron Howard, which led to a follow-up, Grand Theft Auto (1978), Howard's directorial debut  There was also The Great Texas Dynamite Chase (1976), Deathsport (1978) and Smokey Bites the Dust (1981) 
New World's trailers were cut by Joe Dante and Alan Arkush  Corman gave them the chance to direct together, with Hollywood Boulevard (1976), which used outtakes from other New World films  It was successful enough for Corman to give both men jobs directing features on their own: Dante with Piranha (1978) and Arkush with Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979) 
Piranha was written by John Sayles, who had been discovered by Corman's story editor, Frances Doel  Sayles later wrote The Lady in Red (1979) for Corman, which was directed by Lewis Teague 
Other popular films around this time included Tidal Wave (1975), a Japanese film to which Corman added some extra footage, and Jackson County Jail (1976)  He also financed I Never Promised You a Rose Garden  Less popular was Avalanche (1979), a disaster film directed by Corey Allen 
For Universal he made Fast Charlie    the Moonbeam Rider (1979), directed by Carver  He financed Bogdanovich's Saint Jack (1979) 
Corman was criticized when he insisted on the addition of footage featuring a rape for Humanoids from the Deep (1980)  Similarly, in Galaxy of Terror, as noted on Schlock and Awe   some, "Corman promised the investors that the film would feature a Taaffe O'Connell sex-scene and a gruesome death-scene as-well  To save time, Corman put the two together  The actress agreed to a nude scene, but NOT a rape scene  Corman isn't the kind of man who takes no for an answer, and after some contract renegotiation, O'Connell agreed to being raped to death by a giant worm-monster  Money… it does amazing things "The success of Star Wars inspired New World's most expensive film yet, Battle Beyond the Stars (1981)  This film required extensive special effects, prompting Corman to buy a movie studio in Main Street Venice for $1 5 million  Corman made a TV film for CBS, The Georgia Peaches (1980) 
Battle Beyond the Stars was so successful Corman had its footage and music score reused in other films such as Galaxy of Terror (1981) and Forbidden World (1982) 
He picked up a film called The Personals (1983) which enjoyed success 

Millennium Films
Corman sold New World Pictures in January 1983 to a consortium of three lawyers for $16 9 million Under the terms of the contract, he agreed to stay on as a consultant for two years and to provide New World with at least five films they could release  New World agreed to distribute all of Corman's films until March 1984  He set up a new production company, Millennium – the title of which was taken from the name of a 1981 retrospective of Corman's work at the National Film Theatre of London  He announced plans to make films budgeted between $2–5 million using cash from his sale of New World to finance personally  He announced an intention to make fewer commercial films, movies more like I Never Promised You a Rose Garden and Cries and Whispers 
Millennium's films included Space Raiders (1983), a science fiction epic using footage and music from Battle Beyond the Stars; Love Letters (1984), a serious drama from Amy Holden Jones; Screwballs (1984), a sex comedy in the vein of Porky's; Suburbia (1984), directed by Penelope Spheeris, which he acquired, Deathstalker; and Kain of Dark Planet (which became The Warrior and the Sorceress)

Corman says people struggled with the name "Millennium" – "nobody could spell it, nobody knew what it meant" – so he changed it to New Horizons by early 1984 Corman and the new owners of New World ended up suing each other in March 1985  Corman claimed that New World failed to honor their guarantee to distribute his movies at a fee of 15%  He sought $400 million in damages and the return of the company  He said they refused to distribute School Spirit (1985) and Wheels of Fire  He also claimed that New World cheated him distributing Space Raiders, Screwballs and Slumber Party Massacre  New World sued Corman in return, claiming he was seeking to return to distribution, and was discrediting New World to potential investors  They said Corman bypassed New World for some of his films, such as Columbia's Hardbodies (1984)  Corman argued "My whole point in selling was to free myself of the burden of running the company and to get guaranteed distribution  If I can't get my guaranteed distribution, I'm forced to go back to running the company "

Concorde Pictures
The case with New World settled out of court  In March 1985 Corman announced he would establish a new distribution "cooperative", Concorde Pictures, where producers could get relatively cheap distribution from Concorde in exchange for contributing to the company's overhead  Their first releases were Corman productions School Spirit, Wheels of Fire and Barbarian Queen  Concorde later merged with a low budget production company, Cinema Group, and announced plans to make 15-20 films a year Early Concorde releases include Loose Screws (1985), a sequel to Screwballs;  Streetwalkin' (1985), a more serious drama directed by Joan Freeman; Cocaine Wars (1986), the first in a series of movies Corman would finance in South America; Hour of the Assassin (1987), shot in Peru and the first film directed by Luis Llosa; and Munchies (1987), a spoof of Gremlins directed by Tina Hirsch 
Corman also remade Not of this Earth (1988) and released Big Bad Mama II (1987), and Transylvania Twist (1989); all three were directed by Jim Wynorski  He produced another version of Masque of the Red Death (1989), directed by Larry Brand 
He produced Sweet Revenge (1987), Slumber Party Massacre II (1988), directed by Deborah Brock, Andy Colby's Incredible Adventure (1988), also directed by Brock, and The Terror Within (1989), directed by Thierry Notz 
Corman financed the early directorial efforts of Carl Franklin (Nowhere to Run (1989)), Vargas Llosa and Katt Shea (Stripped to Kill (1988), Stripped to Kill II (1989))  More experimental was Nightfall (1988) 
After Hour of the Assassin, he made a series of films in Peru, including Crime Zone (1989), also directed by Luis Llosa, and Full Fathom Five (1990), directed by Carl Franklin 
Concorde had a big hit with Bloodfist (1989), starring Don "the Dragon" Wilson which cost $1 million and earned over $6 million  Concorde signed Wilson to a long-term contract and he made a number of sequels for the company, including Bloodfist II and Fighting to Win 

Frankenstein Unbound
He returned to directing once more with Frankenstein Unbound (1990) 

Concorde and New Horizon in the 1990s
In 1990, Concorde sued MGM for $6 million Concorde's films included Overexposed (1990), The Unborn (1991), and In the Heat of Passion (1992)  They had a big hit with Carnosaur (1993), which led to several sequels  He financed Fire on the Amazon (1991, directed Luis Llosa) which had Sandra Bullock and Craig Sheffer in early roles 
Corman had to deal with the decline of the drive-in market and studio competition through the 1990s, but Concorde-New Horizons still made 15-24 pictures a year  This included a never-released version of The Fantastic Four 

Roger Corman Presents
In 1995 Corman was executive producer on Roger Corman Presents, a special series of 13 movies for Showtime with budgets of around $1 5 million each  "I think the Corman name means action, humor and some titillation," says Mike Elliott, the producer of the series  "It's going to deliver the goods – and it will have a little moral statement in there as well " Corman ended up doing a second season of 11 movies  The films were Bram Stoker's Burial of the Rats, Hellfire, Virtual Seduction, Suspect Device, Unknown Origin, Terminal Virus, Where Evil Lies, Vampirella, Shadow of a Scream, Subliminal Seduction, House of the Damned (a k a  Spectre), The Haunted Sea, Alien Avengers (a k a  Aliens Among Us) and its sequel, Inhumanoid, Sawbones, Not Like Us, and Last Exit to Earth  He created his own comic book franchise, Black Scorpion, which led to a sequel and later a TV series  Corman also executive-produced remakes of The Wasp Woman, Humanoids from the Deep, A Bucket of Blood (a k a  The Death Artist), Piranha and Not of this Earth 

Ireland
Concorde set up operations in Ireland as Concorde Anois, building studios in Connemara, County Galway  He received some support from the Irish government, a decision which became controversial when the content of some Corman productions such as Criminal Affairs was criticized in the press Later Concorde-New Horizons films included Overdrive (1997)  "The genres still hold", said Corman in 1997, "action adventure, the suspense thriller, science fiction and horror  The difference is that they are bigger and better now  "Corman also produced the film Moving Target which was filmed in County Galway  It was his last film produced with Concorde-New Horizons 

Roger Corman's Cosmic Comics
Corman operated a short-lived comic book imprint in 1995–1996 called Roger Corman's Cosmic Comics  It produced comics based on his films, written and drawn in a similar no-hold-barred style  Titles included Bram Stoker's Burial of the Rats, Caged Heat 3000, Death Race 2020, Welcome to The Little Shop of Horrors, and Rock & Roll High School — the latter featuring the Melvins (instead of the Ramones)  Notable creators published by Cosmic Comics included Trevor Goring, James Kochalka, Jason Lutes, Pat Mills, Shane Oakley, Jerry Prosser, and J  R  Williams  The longest-running title was Death Race 2020, which lasted eight issues — but was left unfinished when the company closed down 

Later career:  Syfy Channel
He continued to produce creature films, such as Raptor (2001, dir Jim Wynorski)  Dinocroc (2004), which aired on the Syfy cable television channel and was popular enough for two sequels, Supergator and Dinocroc vs  Supergator (2010), as well as a spin-off film, Dinoshark (2010)  Supergator (2007) was turned down by the Syfy channel, but Corman made it anyway 
Corman also continued to make action films: Escape from Afghanistan (2001) was a Russian film, Peshavar Waltz plus some additional footage; The Hunt for Eagle One (2006) and The Hunt for Eagle One: Crash Point (2006) were shot in the Philippines; Roger Corman's Operation Rogue (2014); Fist of the Dragon (2015) 
In 2006 Corman said he made 60% of his films overseas  "These foreign countries are offering subsidies that are so great that not only I but many independent producers are moving overseas", he said  He sold the remake rights of Death Race 2000 to Universal, who made Death Race (2008) with Jason Statham, with Corman credited as executive producer  It led to two direct-to-video prequels and one direct-to-video sequel 
In 2009, Corman produced and directed alongside director Joe Dante the web series "Splatter" for Netflix  The protagonist of the film is portrayed by Corey Feldman, and the story talks of the haunting tale of rock-and-roll legend Johnny Splatter  He also started contributing trailer commentaries to Dante's web series Trailers from Hell  In 2011, Corman cited James Cameron's Avatar (2009) and Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010) as examples of "great imagination and originality" By now, the SyFy channel was Corman's leading market  For them, he made Sharktopus (2010) and Piranhaconda (2012)  Corman produced the 2017 film Death Race 2050, a sequel to the 1975 film Death Race 2000  It was made with Universal, Corman's first film with a major studio in more than two decades

Port of Seven Seas
Port of Seven Seas is a 1938 drama film starring Wallace Beery and featuring Frank Morgan and Maureen O'Sullivan   The movie was written by Preston Sturges based on the plays of Marcel Pagnol and the films based on them, and was directed by James Whale, the director of Frankenstein (1931) and The Invisible Man (1933)  The cinematography is by Karl Freund, who filmed Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) and I Love Lucy (1951-1957) 

Plot
TCM Synopsis:
In the port of Marseilles, France, Honore Panisse, a well-to-do sailmaker in his fifties, is enamored of the lovely Madelon, the daughter of a widowed fishmonger  For many years Panisse has played cards with Bruneau, Captain Escartefigue and tavern-owner Cesar, the father of Marius, the boy with whom Madelon is in love  Though Cesar and Marius are great friends, they argue constantly, especially over Panisse's infatuation with Madelon, whom Cesar considers one of the family  One day, Marius sends Madelon a note saying that he is going to sea for three years, but cannot say goodbye in person because it would break his heart  Madelon rushes to the docks and faints as his ship sails away  Because Panisse has just arrived, he tries to carry her home, but Cesar insists on taking her himself, not realizing that Marius has gone  Panisse tries to tell him why she fainted, but cannot, and listens fretfully as Cesar tells him that the two young people will soon be married  When he tells Madelon's mother Honorine this, Madelon, now revived, tells them that Marius has gone  Despite her love, she did not stop him because she knew how much he loved the sea  One month later, As Cesar pretends not to care that Marius has not written, the postman arrives with a letter from the boy  When Madelon arrives he reads the letter aloud, saddening Madelon, who is barely mentioned  Soon Panisse goes to Honorine to ask once again for the hand of Madelon  At the same time, Madelon finds out that she is pregnant and prays that she will have the strength to tell her mother  Madelon later goes to Panisse and tells him why she cannot marry him, but he is overjoyed with the news of her pregnancy because he has always wanted a son and his late wife was never able to bear a child  Because Panisse is so kind, Madelon agrees to marry him for the sake of the little one, and when Cesar arrives, quells his anger by telling him the truth  Cesar finally relents in his anger at Panissse for "stealing" his grandchild when Panisse says that he will make Cesar the godfather  They agree to call the boy Cesar Marius Panisse  After the baby is born, he is the apple of Panisse's eye, and Madelon gains the gratitude of Panisse's aged relatives, as well as the continued devotion of Panisse  One year later, just after Panisse has reluctantly boarded the train to go to Paris on business, Marius unexpectedly shows up at his father's house, returned to France to obtain some equipment for his ship  During the night, Marius goes to see Madelon, knowing that she has married Panisse, and Madelon lies to him, saying that Panisse is asleep  Marius confesses how much he has missed her, but she tells him it's too late  When the baby cries, she goes to him and Marius realizes that the child is his  When she tearfully confesses that Panisse is actually in Paris, Marius asks her to come away with him, but she tells him to go away  Just then Cesar comes back  He has returned home because he ran into the town doctor on the train and learned that a neighbor's child has contracted scarlet fever  He tells Marius to go away because that the baby now belongs to Panisse  She wants to go away with him and the baby, but just as they are talking, Panisse comes home because he was worried about the baby  Soon Cesar arrives also and tells Marius to go, but he refuses to leave without Madelon and the baby  Though Panisse sadly says that Madelon can have her freedom, he adds that he cannot give the baby up  When Panisse goes to check on the baby, Madelon and Cesar make Marius realize that the baby belongs as much to Panisse as Marius or Madelon  When Panisse returns, Marius shakes his hand and goes away, after which Panisse and Madelon happily look at their baby's first tooth 
In the French port of Marseille, a lovely young woman named Madelon is in love with a young sailor, Marius  Madelon in turn is loved by Honore Panisse, a well-to-do middle-aged sailmaker   When Marius finds out he must go to sea for three years, he leaves without saying goodbye to Madelon; in a note he tells her that it would break his heart to tell her in person   She rushes to the dock, but sees his ship sailing away and faints   Marius's father Cesar, who already thinks of Madelon as one of the family, carries her to her home 
Later, Madelon finds out that she is pregnant, and to spare her the shame of a child born out of wedlock, Panisse asks Madelon to get an abortion  She agrees, and goes to find a rusty clotheshanger  She proceeds with her attempt to kill her fetus  She did not succeed, and was rushed to the hospital bleeding 
A year later Marius unexpectedly returns from sea to buy some equipment for his ship   Visiting Madelon that night, he sees the baby and realizes that he is the father  He asks her to steal away with him, but she refuses  Despite her love for Marius, she knows that Panisse, who adores the child, will be a better father than Marius, who will be away at sea for many years at a time   Marius leaves, shaking Panisse's hand before he goes, and Panisse and Madelon happily look at their baby's first tooth

Production
Although the credited basis of Port of Seven Seas was Marcel Pagnol's 1931 play Fanny, the screenplay incorporated some incidents from three French films written by Pagnol based on his plays: Marius (1931), directed by Alexander Korda, Fanny (1932), directed by Marc Allégret, and César (1936), which Pagnol directed  The play "Marius" was a great success and was played more than one thousand times in Paris 
William Wyler was slated to direct the film at the time that Preston Sturges was brought into the project, the working titles for which were "Fanny", "Madelon", "Life on the Waterfront" and "Man of the Waterfront"   Ernest Vajda had been reported to be one of the screenwriters, but was not credited   The project was considered by Universal Studios in late 1933 or early 1934, but was dropped sometime after Joseph Breen, who supervised the Production Code, rejected the submitted script  Paramount Pictures had some interest in it, before the script ended up at MGM by July 1936  Although the MGM script was still essentially the one that Universal had submitted to the Hays Office, this time the censors found it "acceptable", and it was approved on 15 March 1938   This did not prevent the Legion of Decency from protesting that the film "lower[ed] the standards" that the Production Code was designed to uphold Port of Seven Seas was in production from late December 1937 through 28 January 1938, with retakes completed on 23 February   Shortly before production started, Luise Rainer, who was to have played "Madelon" was replaced by Maureen O'Sullivan because of a bad cold 
The film was released on 1 July 1938, the long delay coming about because the studio considered the subject matter "dangerous" for the film industry while Congress was considering legislation which had implications for film censorship The movie was premiered on July 1, 1938 in New York City  Marcel Pagnol and Raimu (the great French actor who played Cesar in the French plays and movies) were invited but did not come, supposedly for fear of air travel  The movie was premiered in France in Marseille, later in 1938, at the movie theatre "Le Noailles" with Wallace Beery, Marcel Pagnol and Raimu in attendance 

Other versions
Pagnol's plays provided source material for the three French films noted above, a 1933 Italian film named Fanny, the 1934 German film Der Schwarze Walfisch ("The Black Whale"), the 1954 Broadway musical Fanny, and the 1961 non-musical film based in part on it   Even though many situations and incidents in the 1961 film originated in Port of the Seven Seas, neither it nor Preston Sturges was credited

Passage 9:
James Whale
James Whale (22 July 1889 – 29 May 1957) was an English film director, theatre director and actor, who spent the greater part of his career in Hollywood  He is best remembered for several horror films: Frankenstein (1931), The Old Dark House (1932), The Invisible Man (1933) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935), all considered classics  Whale also directed films in other genres, including the 1936 film version of the musical Show Boat 
Whale was born into a large family in Dudley, Worcestershire now Metropolitan Borough of Dudley  He discovered his artistic talent early on and studied art  With the outbreak of World War I he enlisted in the British Army and became an officer  He was captured by the Germans and during his time as a prisoner of war he realised he was interested in drama  Following his release at the end of the war he became an actor, set designer and director  His success directing the 1928 play Journey's End led to his move to the US, first to direct the play on Broadway and then to Hollywood, California, to direct films  He lived in Hollywood for the rest of his life, most of that time with his longtime romantic partner, producer David Lewis  Apart from Journey's End (1930), which was released by Tiffany Films, and Hell's Angels (1930), released by United Artists, he directed a dozen films for Universal Pictures between 1931 and 1937, developing a style characterised by the influence of German Expressionism and a highly mobile camera 
At the height of his career as a director, Whale directed The Road Back (1937), a sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front  Studio interference, possibly spurred by political pressure from Nazi Germany, led to the film's being altered from Whale's vision, and it was a critical failure  A run of box-office disappointments followed and, while he would make one final short film in 1950, by 1941 his film directing career was effectively over  He continued to direct for the stage and also rediscovered his love for painting and travel  His investments made him wealthy and he lived a comfortable retirement until suffering strokes in 1956 that robbed him of his vigor and left him in pain  He committed suicide on 29 May 1957 by drowning himself in his swimming pool 
Whale was openly gay throughout his career, something that was very rare in the 1920s and 1930s  As knowledge of his sexual orientation has become more widespread, some of his films, Bride of Frankenstein in particular, have been interpreted as having a gay subtext and it has been claimed that his refusal to remain in the closet led to the end of his career 

Early years
Whale was born in Dudley, Worcestershire, at the heart of the Black Country, the sixth of seven children of William, a blast furnaceman, and Sarah, a nurse  He attended Kates Hill Board School, followed by Bayliss Charity School and finally Dudley Blue Coat School  His attendance stopped in his teenage years, because the cost would have been prohibitive and his labor was needed to help support the family  Thought not physically strong enough to follow his brothers into the local heavy industries, Whale started work as a cobbler, reclaiming the nails he recovered from replaced soles and selling them for scrap for extra money  He discovered he had some artistic ability and earned additional money lettering signs and price tags for his neighbors  He used his additional income to pay for evening classes at the Dudley School of Arts and Crafts World War I broke out in early August 1914  Although Whale had little interest in the politics behind the war, he realized that conscription was inevitable, so he voluntarily enlisted just before it was introduced, into the British Army's Inns of Court Officer Training Corps in October 1915, and was stationed initially at Bristol  He was subsequently commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Worcestershire Regiment in July 1916  He was taken prisoner of war in battle on the Western Front in Flanders in August 1917, and was held at Holzminden Officers' Camp, where he remained until the war's end, being repatriated to England in December 1918  While imprisoned he became actively involved, as an actor, writer, producer and set-designer, in the amateur theatrical productions that took place in the camp, finding them "a source of great pleasure and amusement"  He also developed a talent for poker, and after the war he cashed in the chits and IOUs from his fellow prisoners that he had amassed in gambling to provide himself with finances for re-entry into civilian life 

Career
Theatre
After the armistice, he returned to Birmingham and tried to find work as a cartoonist  He sold two cartoons to the Bystander in 1919 but was unable to secure a permanent position  Later that year he embarked on a professional stage career  Under the tutelage of actor-manager Nigel Playfair, he worked as an actor, set designer and builder, "stage director" (akin to a stage manager) and director  In 1922, while with Playfair, he met Doris Zinkeisen  They were considered a couple for some two years, despite Whale's living as an openly gay man  They were reportedly engaged in 1924, but by 1925 the engagement was off In 1928 Whale was offered the opportunity to direct two private performances of R  C  Sherriff's then-unknown play Journey's End for the Incorporated Stage Society, a theatre society that mounted private Sunday performances of plays  Set over a four-day period in March 1918 in the trenches at Saint-Quentin, France, Journey's End gives a glimpse into the experiences of the officers of a British infantry company in World War I  The key conflict is between Capt  Stanhope, the company commander, and Lt  Raleigh, the brother of Stanhope's fiancée  Whale offered the part of Stanhope to the then barely known Laurence Olivier  Olivier initially declined the role, but after meeting the playwright agreed to take it on  Maurice Evans was cast as Raleigh  The play was well received and transferred to the Savoy Theatre in London's West End, opening on 21 January 1929  A young Colin Clive was now in the lead role, Olivier having accepted an offer to take the lead in a production of Beau Geste  The play was a tremendous success, with critics uniform and effusive in their praise and with audiences sometimes sitting in stunned silence following its conclusion only to burst into thunderous ovations  As Whale biographer James Curtis wrote, the play "managed to coalesce, at the right time and in the right manner, the impressions of a whole generation of men who were in the war and who had found it impossible, through words or deeds, to adequately express to their friends and families what the trenches had been like"
