David Miller (director)
David Miller (November 28, 1909 – April 14, 1992) was an American film director who directed varied films such as ''Billy the Kid (1941 film), Billy the Kid'' (1941) with Robert Taylor (American actor), Robert Taylor and Brian Donlevy, ''Flying Tigers (film), Flying Tigers'' (1943) with John Wayne, and ''Love Happy'' (1949) with the Marx Brothers. Emanuel Levy wrote in 2009 that ''Lonely are the Brave'' (1962), starring Kirk Douglas, "is the most accomplished film of David Miller, who directs with eloquent feeling for landscape and attention to character." Others feel that Miller's best is his 1952 noir thriller and Joan Crawford vehicle ''Sudden Fear'' co-starring Jack Palance and Gloria Grahame. ''Sudden Fear'' was nominated for four Academy Awards for Best Actress (Crawford), Best Actor (Palance), Best Costume Design and Best Cinematography by Charles Lang.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Short Films
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc., also known as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and abbreviated as MGM, is an American film, television production, distribution and media company owned by Amazon through MGM Holdings, founded on April 17, 1924 and based in Beverly Hills, California. MGM was formed by Marcus Loew by combining Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures, and Louis B. Mayer Pictures into one company. It hired a number of well known actors as contract players—its slogan was "more stars than there are in heaven"—and soon became Hollywood's most prestigious film studio, producing popular musical films and winning many Academy Awards. MGM also owned film studios, movie lots, movie theaters and technical production facilities. Its most prosperous era, from 1926 to 1959, was bracketed by two productions of '' Ben Hur''. After that, it divested itself of the Loews movie theater chain, and, in the 1960s, diversified into television production. In 1969, Kirk Kerkorian bought 4 ...
