Stanley Earl Kramer (September 29, 1913 – February 19, 2001) was one of the major mainstream producers and directors in Hollywood's history, famous for his films in the TheFifties and [[TheSixties Sixties]] that determined to bring a voice to the major social problems of his time.

Unfortunately, as idealistic as those films were, they were often derided as [[{{Anvilicious}} being preachy with outdated issues]] and artistically inept of a director who still thought like a producer.

That already stung him and with the rise of NewHollywood, his career faded, but his idealistic example lives on with the Producers Guild of America's Stanley Kramer Award that awards films that address important social issues.

Tropes displayed by him:

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Kramer dearly wanted to be seen as a daring artist, but he felt that no one understood him. This really hit home when he went on a lecture tour of colleges with his greatest success, ''GuessWhosComingToDinner'', to talk about race relations. Unfortunately, his audiences dismissed him as a cinematic fuddy duddy and preferred to talk about the wild film, ''Film/BonnieAndClyde''.
