Description: "The career of Bernard Vorhaus, as documented in this autobiography, includes directing John Wayne in two films and introducting actresses Geraldine Fitzgerald, Anne Jackson, and Margaret Rutherford to the screen. Vorhaus also brought legendary cinematographer John Alton to Republic Pictures and worked with him on five films. He was a member of the U.S. Air Force Motion Picture Unit and knew Ronald Reagan, but that did not prevent Vorhaus from being blacklisted during the McCarthy era because of his extreme leftist politics. He was forced to leave the United States and his film career behind forever, and in the 1950s he embarked on a new career, converting London homes into apartments."--Jacket.
