The Directors: Richard Fleischer

He was a soft-spoken, well-liked, respected craftsman who made quite a number of movies I enjoyed.  He was never as showy or as famous as a number of his contemporaries or forefathers but he got the job done.  He did not have a particular style that I could detect nor did he make a certain type of movie.  Richard Fleischer made some epics, sci-fi's, true-life crime, even horror and thrillers, and to my ever-lasting gratitude, some wonderful film noirs.

May Britt

She had her 15 minutes of fame in the late 50s and early 60s... oh yes she did, she certainly did.  Born in Sweden, she made some Italian movies before she came to the U.S.  She had starring roles in four American films for 20th Century Fox but most of us from those days know her for being far more famous/infamous for her personal life.
