Alfred L. Werker
Alfred L. Werker( December 2, 1896 – July 28, 1975) was a film director whose work in movies spanned from 1917 through 1957.
After a number of film production jobs and assistant directing, Werker co-directed his first film," Ridin' the Wind" in 1925 alongside director Del Andrews.
He was brought in by Fox Film Corporation executives to re-shoot and re-edit Erich von Stroheim's film" Hello, Sister!"( 1933), co-starring Boots Mallory and ZaSu Pitts.
Most of Werker's work is unremarkable, but a few were well received by critics.
Those films included" House of Rothschild"( 1934) and" The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"( 1939); the latter film is considered one of the best in the Sherlock Holmes series.
During the early 1940s, he directed a number of comedies including Laurel& Hardy's" A- Haunting We Will Go"( 1942).
In the late 1940s, Werker worked for the B-picture film studio Eagle- Lion Films.
Notable films from that period include the unique mystery thriller" Repeat Performance"( 1947) and" He Walked by Night"( 1948).
The latter film, however, was taken over by uncredited director Anthony Mann.
In 1949" He Walked By Night" won the Locarno International Film Festival's award for Best Police Film.
The following year, Werker was nominated for, but did not win, the Directors Guild of America Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures for" Lost Boundaries"( 1949).

Constructed from 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 buildings and covers 72 hectares( over 180 acres).
The palace exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere.
The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artifacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Part of the museum's former collection is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
Both museums descend from the same institution, but were split after the Chinese Civil War.
Since 2012, the Forbidden City has seen an average of 14 million visitors annually, and received more than 16 million visitors in 2016 and 2017.
