Arthur Hornblow, Jr. (March 15, 1893 – July 17, 1976) was an American film producer. ==Biography== Hornblow was the son of Arthur Hornblow, Sr. (1865–1942), a writer and editor who produced the ''Theatre'' magazine in New York City. (He allowed a version of his last name be used by C. S. Forester for the fictional sea captain Horatio Hornblower after meeting writer Forester at a New York cocktail party.) Hornblow graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School, New York City, in 1911, before studying at Dartmouth College and New York Law School,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0394967/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm )〕 and was a member of the fraternity Theta Delta Chi. He served in counter-intelligence during World War I,〔 and then tried his hand at playwriting. He was then hired as a production supervisor by Sam Goldwyn at Paramount in 1927.〔 He married the actress Myrna Loy in 1936.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.spokeo.com/Arthur+Hornblow+Jr+1 )〕 On their divorce in 1942 they threw a lavish party at the Mocambo club. Initially, he specialized in the popular screwball comedies, eventually giving Billy Wilder his first directing job, and producing several films starring Bob Hope.〔 These included ''The Cat and the Canary'' (1939), ''The Ghost Breakers'' (1940) and ''Nothing But the Truth'' (1941).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/movies/person/94858/Arthur-Hornblow-Jr- )〕 In 1942 he moved to MGM where he produced several film noir. In the 1950s, now an independent producer rather that a studio employee, he worked on musicals and other films including ''Oklahoma'', ''Ruggles of Red Gap'' and ''Gaslight''. After retiring from the film business in 1962 he devoted his time to writing children's books with his third wife Leonora Schinasi〔 as Leonora Hornblow (1920–2005). He gave aspiring actress Marie Windsor her first screen test, and Constance Ockelman her new name, Veronica Lake. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Hornblow, Jr.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
