Director Born: February 12, 1898 in Brooklyn, New York City, NY Death: August 25, 1963 in Hollywood, CA Biography:At the time of his death in 1963, "Edward L. Cahn" rated an obituary of less than three column-inches in Variety. Within 20 years of his death, however, major studios would be spending millions of dollars remaking movies that Cahn had directed virtually for pennies, and within ten years of that, his pictures were being revived in repertory theaters and released in restored editions on laserdisc. Cahn's career arc was a reflection of two vastly sides of filmmaking divided by 40 years. Starting as a production assistant in the teens, he became one of Hollywood's top editors, working on some of the most celebrated movies of the late '20s and early '30s; he then turned to directing and spent 30 years making his name as a specialist in B-pictures and shorts. He did his best work during the final decade of his life and he was never busier than during that final decade.
