He spent much of the 1930s at Warner Brothers, turning out some of that studio's grittier gangster pictures and "social drama" films--L'école du crime (1938), Hommes sans loi (1939), Hell's Kitchen (1939), to name a few--and he was responsible for what is generally considered to be one of the finest war pictures to come out of Hollywood, Guadalcanal (1943). Retiring from motion pictures in 1958, he turned to television where he kept busy up to the time of his death.
