The Legends of the Golden Past: Most Noteworthy Directors

The creative genius that makes it possible for movies to be such a record breaking success on the Box Office is that of the directors. It would’ve been impossible to have had such a vast collection of artistic masterpieces if it wasn’t for the directors of classic films.

Here’s a brief tribute to some of the Most Noteworthy Directors of the classic past.

Billy Wilder

Being a Jew, Billy Wilder was born at a time when Hitler was at the epitome of power and had to seek refuge at different locations to save his life. Beginning from Paris, Wilder moved to the U.S. where he never turned back once he entered the folds of Hollywood. This is where he released his first feature film and directed classics like Ball of Fire and Ninotchka. His founding work was the 1942 romantic-comedy, The Major and the Minor which paved the way for bigger successes like Double Indemnity, a film noir production.

Cecil B. DeMille

This man was called one of the pioneers of the American Film Industry. He began the Lasky Film Company alongside Jesse Lasky and Samuel Goldwyn, in 1913 which transformed into Paramount Pictures later. His first biblical film direction was in The Ten Commandments (1923) which received a warm welcome in the industry. He took his career to new heights by producing masterpieces like Cleopatra (1934), Samson and Delilah (1949) and the Academy Award-winning The Greatest Show on Earth (1952).
