	Rex Ingram
		The African-American actor Rex Ingram -- not to be confused with the Irish-born director of the same name from the silent era -- was, for a time, the most prominent fl dramatic performer in Hollywood and second only to Paul Robeson in recognition among all fl actors.
		Ingram was initially cast as Adam, but stage manager Claude Archer suggested that Warner Bros. test Ingram for the role of De Lawd, pointing out that makeup could compensate for his being two decades too young for the part.
		Ingram's performance as De Lawd in The Green Pastures film was the defining moment of his movie career and turned him into the most prominent fl leading man in Hollywood -- not that there was much competition.

	Ingram-Terry Love Affair
		Ingram's respect for her contributions is evidenced by the fact that Terry is listed as co-director on his last film, "Baroud" (1932).
		Being from Ireland, of course Ingram was more at home in Europe, but, without question, the shy little girl from Indiana was right at her husband's side far away from the land she had known as home for the past 26 years.
		The Ingram's lifestyle led to some assumptions in a British magazine that Ingram was leaving filmmaking because of his "revulsion" for Hollywood, he and Terry were having marital difficulties, and that he had converted to Islam, none of which was true.

		British director Michael Powell, who initially worked as Ingram’s assistant, referred to him as “the greatest stylist of his time.” David Lean once remarked that he was indebted to Ingram’s cinematic vision.
		If Ingram’s style may seem a bit too static by today’s rollercoaster-paced standards, it’s no exaggeration to say that overall those films remain as impressive - and certainly as visually stunning - as when they were first released more than 80 years ago.
		Note: Irish film writer Liam O’Leary wrote a 1980 biography, Rex Ingram: Master of the Silent Cinema, that is worth having mostly because of the great photographs.

	David Lean
		Claude Chabrol remarked that he and Lean were the only directors working who would wait “forever” for a perfect sunset but that he measured “forever” in terms of days and Lean did so in months.
		But even while other directors in the 1940s and '50s were making several films every twelve months, Lean never made more than one (4).
		As a director Lean dealt with all these “realities,” often within a given film, moved freely in a way few others have between these conventional modes and defined his vision through them.

		Ingram after the actress and director had fallen in love during the shooting of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
		Ingram was good friends with legendary director Erich von Stroheim and it is clear from viewing this sequence that The Conquering Power was a great influence upon Greed, which von Stroheim produced two years later.
		Seitz later remembered director Ingram as "the most colorful and interesting character I ever met in my life." Irish-born Ingram (1893-1950) was a temperamental filmmaker who brooked little interference on his sets.

		British-born director Charles J. Brabin came to the States as a stage actor, switching to films at the Edison Studios in New Jersey in 1908.
		Brabin gave a leg-up to the career of fellow director Rex Ingram, who was his assistant in several important films.
		His early talkies The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932) and Beast of the City (1932) are masterpieces of gloomy morbidity, leading MGM to believe that Brabin could handle the melancholy aspects of the studio's Rasputin and the Empress (1933).

	Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger
		Certain works by each of these filmmakers might be similarly considered in terms of their idiosyncratic blurring of diegetic and non-diegetic elements, as well as their utilisation of lonely director-like figures who ‘control’ space, time, mise en scène and other aspects of representation.
		It is therefore not surprising that Powell is often discussed as an anachronistic aesthete in mid-twentieth century British cinema; a director who throws together the perceived floridness of nineteenth century melodrama, the values of Victorianism, the self-consciously faked pictorial dimensions of Victorian-era, family-based studio photography and the technical flourishes of a magic show.
		Both appearances hint at the violent potential that is unleashed by the ‘director’s’ actions, ‘directions’ and narrative fantasies.

		It's even better because it was directed by the incredible Rex Ingram (whose lovely-looking wife Alice Terry plays Marguerite, the married woman whom Julio has an affair with) and had the screenplay written by the legendary June Mathis, who was one of the most powerful women in Hollywood at the time.
		Mathis was very heavily into spiritualism and mystic overtones in her movies, and she made these leanings manifest in the philosopher with the long beard who foresees the coming apocalypse and the subsequent havoc wrought by the four horsemen.

		Although both were listed jointly as director, screenwriter, and frequently as producer, and the extent of each one's participation on any given film is difficult to measure, it is probably most accurate to credit Powell with the actual visualization of the films, while Pressburger functioned primarily as a writer.
		Many of the gothic, highly expressionistic characteristics of the films produced by the partnership seem to trace their origins to Powell's apprenticeship at Rex Ingram's studio in Nice in the 1920s.
		Unfortunately, the film was perhaps ahead of its time—a problem that plagued the director and his collaborator for most of their careers.
