The Directors: Edmund Goulding

He is not so well-known today but in Hollywood of the 1920s and 30s he was an eccentric genius whose name was to be reckoned with.  He became well-known for directing a number of highly-polished movies with their well-crafted stories and compelling characters.  Friends and neighbors and coworkers and more than a few sailors and construction workers and European royalty knew him as the host of some of the greatest gay orgies Tinseltown was ever to know.
