Lou Rusoff was a screenwriter and producer best known for his work with American International Pictures. ==Career== Rusoff worked as a social worker〔Anna Sten Resuming; Petal Premiere Set, Los Angeles Times (1923–Current File) (Angeles, Calif ) July 16, 1956: 27〕 and wrote for Canadian radio and television before moving to Hollywood in 1950. He wrote for a number of TV programs then started working for AIP and became their most prolific screenwriter, usually writing scripts to match a concept and poster that AIP had come up with.〔Shocker Pioneers Tell How to Make Monsters: Want to Make a Monster? Experts Tell How It's Done, Scheuer, Philip K. Los Angeles Times (1923–Current File) (Angeles, Calif ) September 21, 1958: E1.〕 Arkoff later said: Often, he was working on five or six scripts simultaneously – not only his own but rewriting other people's screenplays when emergencies occurred and the original writers were unavailable. He also eventually produced some of the AIP movies he wrote... More than any other writer, Lou had a real appreciation for what we were trying to do. He understood how to keep costs down by limiting the number of sets and locations. He framed his scripts beautifully into our titles and artwork. And he always kept a sense of humour, which was a real virtue under hectic circumstances.〔Arkoff p39〕 Writer Mark McGee said "Rusoff's scripts were usually hackneyed and dull but they generally made sense."〔Mark McGee, Faster and Furiouser: The Revised and Fattened Fable of American International Pictures, McFarland, 1996 p58〕 He worked his way up to vice-president in charge of production. Rusoff died of brain cancer during the editing of his final film, ''Beach Party'' (1963).〔Arkoff p 130〕 He was survived by his wife, two sons, a brother and six sisters.〔TV-Movie Producer Rusoff Dies Los Angeles Times (1923–Current File) (Angeles, Calif ) July 1, 1963: A1.〕 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「Lou Rusoff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
