Claude Chabrol
Claude Henri Jean Chabrol( 24 June 1930 – 12 September 2010) was a French film director and a member of the French New Wave(" nouvelle vague") group of filmmakers who first came to prominence at the end of the 1950s.
Like his colleagues and contemporaries Jean- Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette, Chabrol was a critic for the influential film magazine" Cahiers du cinéma" before beginning his career as a film maker.
Chabrol's career began with" Le Beau Serge"( 1958), inspired by Hitchcock's" Shadow of a Doubt"( 1943).
Thrillers became something of a trademark for Chabrol, with an approach characterized by a distanced objectivity.
This is especially apparent in" Les Biches"( 1968)," La Femme infidèle"( 1969), and" Le Boucher"( 1970) – all featuring Stéphane Audran, who was his wife at the time.
Sometimes characterized as a" mainstream" New Wave director, Chabrol remained prolific and popular throughout his half- century career.
In 1978, he cast Isabelle Huppert as the lead in" Violette Nozière".
On the strength of that effort, the pair went on to others including the successful" Madame Bovary"( 1991) and" La Cérémonie"( 1996).
Film critic John Russell Taylor has stated that" there are few directors whose films are more difficult to explain or evoke on paper, if only because so much of the overall effect turns on Chabrol's sheer hedonistic relish for the medium ...
Some of his films become almost private jokes, made to amuse himself."
James Monaco has called Chabrol" the craftsman par excellence of the New Wave, and his variations upon a theme give us an understanding of the explicitness and precision of the language of the film that we do n't get from the more varied experiments in genre of Truffaut or Godard."

Sam Newfield
Sam Newfield, born Samuel Neufeld,( December 6, 1899- November 10, 1964), also known as Sherman Scott or Peter Stewart, was an American B-movie director, one of the most prolific in American film history —he is credited with directing over 250 feature films in a career which began during the silent era and ended in 1958.
In addition to his staggering feature output, he also directed one- and two- reel comedy shorts, training films, industrial films, TV episodes and pretty much anything anyone would pay him for.
Because of this massive output—he would sometimes direct more than 20 films in a single year —he has been called the most prolific director of the sound era.
Many of Newfield's films were made for PRC Pictures.
This was a film production company headed by his brother Sigmund Neufeld.
The films PRC produced were low- budget productions, the majority being westerns, with an occasional horror film or crime drama.

The Terror of Tiny Town
The Terror of Tiny Town is a 1938 American Western film produced by Jed Buell, directed by Sam Newfield, and starring Billy Curtis.
It is the world's only musical Western with an all- dwarf cast.
The film was filmed at a sound studio in Hollywood and partly at Placeritos Ranch in Placerita Canyon, California.
The inspiration of the film came when Jed Buell overheard an employee jokingly say “ If this economic dive keeps going, we'll be using midgets as actors ”.
Using a conventional Western story with an all dwarf cast, the filmmakers were able to showcase gags such as cowboys entering the local saloon by walking under the swinging doors, climbing into cupboards to retrieve items, and dwarf cowboys galloping around on Shetland ponies while roping calves.
