William Castle
William Castle( April 24, 1914 – May 31, 1977) was an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and actor.
Orphaned at 11, Castle dropped out of high school at 15 to work in the theater.
He came to the attention of Columbia Pictures for his talent for promotion and was hired.
He learned the trade of filmmaking and became a director, acquiring a reputation for the ability to churn out competent B-movies quickly and on budget.
He eventually struck out on his own, producing and directing thrillers, which, despite their low budgets, were effectively promoted with gimmicks, a trademark for which he is best known.
He was also the producer for" Rosemary's Baby".
John Huston
John Marcellus Huston( August 5, 1906 – August 28, 1987) was an American film director, screenwriter, actor, and visual artist.
Huston was a citizen of the United States by birth but renounced U.S. citizenship to become an Irish citizen and resident.
He returned to the United States, where he lived the rest of his life.
He wrote the screenplays for most of the 37 feature films he directed, many of which are today considered classics:" The Maltese Falcon"( 1941)," The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"( 1948)," The Asphalt Jungle"( 1950)," The African Queen"( 1951)," The Misfits"( 1961)," Fat City"( 1972)," The Man Who Would Be King"( 1975) and" Prizzi's Honor"( 1986).
During his 46- year career, Huston received 15 Oscar nominations, winning twice, and directed both his father, Walter Huston, and daughter, Anjelica Huston, to Oscar wins.
Huston studied and worked as a fine art painter in Paris in his early years.
He explored the visual aspects of his films throughout his career, sketching each scene on paper beforehand, then carefully framing his characters during the shooting.
While most directors rely on post-production editing to shape their final work, Huston instead created his films while they were being shot, with little editing needed.
Some of Huston's films were adaptations of important novels, often depicting an" heroic quest," as in" Moby Dick", or" The Red Badge of Courage".
In many films, different groups of people, while struggling toward a common goal, would become doomed, forming" destructive alliances," giving the films a dramatic and visual tension.
Many of his films involved themes such as religion, meaning, truth, freedom, psychology, colonialism, and war.
Huston has been referred to as" a titana rebel", and a" renaissance man" in the Hollywood film industry.
Author Ian Freer describes him as" cinema's Ernest Hemingway" — a filmmaker who was" never afraid to tackle tough issues head on."
