  Edward Dmytryk - Biography - Moviefone
A messenger boy at Paramount in the mid 1920s, Edward Dmytryk became an editor in the 1930s and began directing in 1935.
In 1948 Dmytryk became one of the "Hollywood Ten" when he was accused of having ties to the communist party and was sentenced to a year in prison for contempt of Congress.
Dmytryk went on to make several notable films in the 1950s, including the westerns Broken Lance (1954) with Spencer Tracy and Warlock (1959) with Henry Fonda, and the World War II drama The Young Lions (1958), starring Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift.

 Lycos Movies - Biography - Edward Dmytryk
Dmytryk reteamed with Scott, Paxton and Powell for a second film that was almost as terrific, the hair-trigger thriller "Cornered" (1945), another study of deceptive surfaces and shifting loyalties, all filtered through a cynical sensibility and sharp visuals.
Dmytryk also made the study of a Holocaust survivor, "The Juggler" (1953), the first Hollywood film shot in Israel, and capped his association with Kramer via "The Caine Mutiny" (1954), a fine, popular study of a naval officer's mental disintegration and his crew's rebellion.
Dmytryk had re-established himself and would work for another 20 years, but his track record became much more erratic, his credits alternating between adventure sagas done in by their scripts ("The Mountain" 1956; "Shalako" 1968) and overblown melodramas based on fine and trashy novels alike.

Edward Dmytryk rose through the Hollywood ranks, beginning as a projectionist in the 1920s, working as an editor through most of the 1930s, and directing low-budget films during the first half of the 1940s before making his first A-budget film, Tender Comrade, in 1943.
Dmytryk subsequently became one of the Hollywood Ten and, after completing his jail sentence, the only member of the Ten to become a friendly witness and name names.
Some have argued that Dmytryk's work simply deteriorated after his testimony before HUAC; it may also be that recurring themes bridge this period and offer intriguing parallels between the political climate, Dmytryk's personal view of life, and his overall film accomplishments.
