Anthony Mann

Emil Anton Bundsmann was born in San Diego in 1906, the son of an emigrant from Austria-Hungary. He worked in the theatre in New York, then entered the cinema as a casting director at Selznick and as an assistant to Preston Sturges. He moved from film noir to the western, where he made five films in five years with the same actor, then to big-budget epics. Dismissed from a superproduction after seventeen days of shooting, he nevertheless directed two others afterwards. He died in Berlin in 1967, during a shoot that one of his actors completed.
