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.
