Director Born: March 23, 1923 in New York City, NY Death: June 13, 1979 in Los Angeles, CA Biography:"Barry Shear" began directing live TV shows when the medium was still in its swaddling clothes. Shear confined himself to the 21-inch arena until 1968, when he directed his first theatrical feature, the entertaining if vastly overrated speculative melodrama "Wild in the Street." He functioned as both producer and director on two of his four big-screen efforts, "The Todd Killings" (1971) and "Across 110th Street" (1972). After "The Deadly Trackers," Shear returned to his forte, television. Working primarily for Universal Studios, Barry Shear turned out individual episodes of such weekly series as "Night Gallery" and "Name of the Game;" he also directed many a feature-length TV pilot, some of which were spun off into series ("Strike Force", "The San Pedro Bums" etc.), but most of which ("Jarrett," "Keefer") never progressed past the first installment. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
