Renown producer
Stanley Kramer had an extensive filmography that includes some real jewels
and gems of cinema, such as The Wild One, Cyrano De Bergerac,
Inherit the
Wind, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Judgment at Nuremberg,
It's a Mad,
Mad, Mad, Mad World, The Caine Mutiny, and The Defiant Ones, to name a
few. Kramer's Western
claim to fame was the indelible High Noon, in which Gary Cooper won his
second Oscar®. As most
of Kramer's films have dealt with social concerns, he was aptly called
"The Conscience of Hollywood". Born in 1913 in New York
City, he died ultimately of health complications. |
