Tay Garnett


 Tay Garnett began directing in 1924 and followed the next year with another one but began in 1928 consistently with his first sound credit in 1929, "Oh, Yeah?" with Robert Armstrong and James Gleason and "Her Man" 1930 is noteworthy with Helen Twelvetrees, Phillips Holmes, Marjorie Rambeau, Ricardo Cortez, Thelma Todd for bringing the story of a poor Havana nightclub girl. "Bad Company" 1931 followed with Helen Twelvetrees and Ricardo Cortez then to the French Colony with "Prestige" 1931 Ann Harding, Adolphe Menjou, Melvyn Douglas. He joined with Helen Twelvetrees to direct one of her grittiest films, "Panama Flo" 1932 with Charles Bickford and Robert Armstrong which is up there with "Safe in Hell" as a classic of that genre. "Okay America!" 1932 was inspired by Walter Winchell, Maureen O'Sullivan, Louis Calhern and also in 1932 was "One Way Passage" William Powell, Kay Francis, Frank McHugh, Aline MacMahon, Warren Hymer. "Destination Unknown" 1933 Pat O'Brien, Ralph Bellamy, and Betty Compson dealt with a group of people adrift on a schooner with no wind and "S.O.S. Iceberg" 1933 starred Leni Riefenstahl, Rod LaRocque and it was the last of the co-productions between Germany and the US due to the rise of the Nazis. There were no 1934 films for Tay Garnett but he returned in fine form with "China Seas" 1935 Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Wallace Beery, and Rosalind Russell.
