Lloyd Bacon
Lloyd Francis Bacon (December 4, 1889 – November 15, 1955) was an American screen, stage and vaudeville actor and film director. As a director he made films in virtually all genres--westerns, musicals, comedies, gangster films, crime dramas, etc.,--and was one of the directors at Warner Bros. in the '30s who helped give that studio its reputation for gritty, fast-paced "torn from the headlines" action films.
