110 Zugsmith, Albert
1910-1993Nacido en Atlantic City, actor ocasional, productor, guionista y director, es responsable, en la segunda de estas facetas, de algunas grandes peliculas Uni versal de los 50 como Escrito sobre el viento (Written on the Wind, Douglas Sirk, 1956) o Sed de mal (Touch of Evil, Orson Welles, 1958). A esta etapa le sigue otra, en MGM, mucho menos brillante, con concesiones cada vez mayores a un publico poco exigente que pedia, como senalaba el topico, sexo y rock and roll. Como realizador no es nada destacado; su unico western, a caballo entre Estados Unidos y Mexico, apenas llama la atencion favorablemente.The Phantom Gunslinger/El pistolero fantasma. 1970. 99 minutos.
