Director Born: April 12, 1935 in Detroit, MI Death: October 30, 2002 in Beverly Hills, CA Biography:Harvard-educated director "Lee H. Katzin" was a protégé of filmmaker "Robert Aldrich". Katzin's official directorial debut was the Aldrich-produced melodrama "Whatever Happened to Aunt Alice" (1969); in truth, a year or so earlier he had helmed the disastrous "The Phynx", which had an extremely limited release in 1970. His big-budget break came when he replaced "John Sturges" as director for "Le Mans" (1971); Katzin's documentary approach in this film was at odds with his usual self-conscious, gimmicky visual style. The director's TV credits include "Movie of the Week" fare like "Along Came a Spider" (1970) and "Ordeal" (1973), pilot films like "Man From Atlantis" (1977), and several episodes of the British sci-fi series "Space: 1999" (1975-77). In 1988, Katzin directed "The World Gone Wild", his first theatrical feature in years. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
