Filmography
Mann first made his name as director of several film noir. Early films which made Mann a name in Hollywood include:
- T-Men (1947)
- Raw Deal (1948)
- Border Incident (1949)
- Side Street (1950)
However, Mann is probably best remembered today for his work in the Western genre - particularly for five film collaborations with James Stewart:
- Winchester '73 (1950)
- Bend of the River (1952)
- The Naked Spur (1953)
- The Far Country (1955)
- The Man from Laramie (1955)
Mann's other westerns include:
- The Furies (1950), starring Barbara Stanwyck
- Devil's Doorway (1950), starring Robert Taylor
- The Tin Star (1957), starring Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins
- Man of the West (1958), starring Gary Cooper
In the 1960s, Mann put aside Westerns to concentrate on making two epics for producer Samuel Bronston:
- El Cid (1961)
- The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964)
He was also the original director of Spartacus (1960), but was fired early in production by producer-star Kirk Douglas and replaced with Stanley Kubrick, having shot a handful of scenes.
