George Stevens (1904-1975) was an American director during TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood. He was known as the go-to comedy man for Creator/{{RKO}} during TheThirties.

He began directing in silents, most notably the LaurelAndHardy shorts where he honed his directing comedy flair.

With the onset of WWII, he became involved with the Army’s Signal Corps and headed the film unit during such important events as D-Day and the liberation of the concentration camp, Dachau. The latter was of utmost importance for him and the world: his video evidence of the conditions of the camp and its prisoners would be used in the Nuremburg trials to condemn the war crimes of Nazi leadership.

Such strong and horrifying scenes of evil changed Stevens forever, and he vowed to never make a comedy film again. He made, as promised, only serious dramas thereafter.
