Bernard Vorhaus (December 25, 1904 – November 23, 2000) was an American film director born in New York City. The Harvard University graduate, in addition to directing thirty-two films, was also the mentor to future film director David Lean, some of whose work as a film editor early in his career was on Vorhaus pictures. He worked steadily as a screenwriter in Hollywood while in his 20s but wanted to direct movies. He eventually decided to move to England and began directing B-movies or quota quickies, most notably ''The Last Journey'' (1935). After success in England, Vorhaus moved back to the U.S. and began working at Republic Pictures again directing B-movies. Vorhaus was blacklisted in 1951 at HUAC hearings. Vorhaus had already moved to Europe at that time and directed a few minor films while there. He finally returned to England and retired from the film business, founding a business specialising in house renovations. Vorhaus had two children, Gwyn and David, an electronic music pioneer who worked under the name White Noise. ==Selected filmography== * ''Seventh Heaven'' (US, 1927) co-author of screenplay * ''No Other Woman'' (US, 1928) co-author of screenplay * ''Sunshine'' (US, 1928) two-reeler; debut as director * ''The Singing City'' (Germany, 1930) producer; starring Brigitte Helm * ''Money for Speed'' (UK, 1933) * ''Crime on the Hill'' (UK, 1933) * ''The Ghost Camera'' (UK, 1933) * ''On Thin Ice'' (UK, 1933) * ''Night Club Queen'' (UK, 1933) * ''The Broken Melody'' (UK, 1934) * ''Dark World'' (UK, 1935) * ''The Last Journey'' (UK, 1935) * ''Dusty Ermine'' (UK, 1936) * ''Broken Blossoms'' (UK, 1936) technical supervisor * ''Cotton Queen'' (UK, 1937) * ''King of the Newsboys'' (US, 1938) * ''Way Down South'' (US, 1939) co-director * ''Three Faces West'' (US, 1940) * ''Lady From Louisiana'' (US, 1941) * ''Angels With Broken Wings'' (US, 1941) * ''The Affairs of Jimmy Valentine'' (US, 1942) * ''Recognition of the Japanese Zero Fighter'' (US, 1943) short film * ''The Amazing Mr. X'' (US, 1948) also known as ''The Spiritualist'' * ''So Young, So Bad'' (US, 1950) * ''The Lady From Boston'' (France-US, 1951) also known as ''Pardon My French'' * ''Imbarco a mezzanotte'' (Italy, 1951) also known as ''Stranger on the Prowl''; replaced by Joseph Losey * ''Fanciulle di lusso'' (Italy, 1953) also known as ''Finishing School'', written by blacklisted writer Norma Barzman * ''Roman Holiday'' (US, 1953) assistant director, under pseudonym 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「Bernard Vorhaus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
