Seymour Friedman(1917-2003)
- Production Manager
- Production Department
- Director
Born in Detroit, Cambridge-educated Seymour Friedman entered films in
1937 as an assistant editor, eventually graduating to assistant
director. After WW II service, he returned to the film industry as a
director, mainly of routine, low-budget action films, many for Columbia
Pictures, debuting with Trapped by Boston Blackie (1948). After his film career ended, Friedman,
like many of his fellow B directors, went into the television industry.
However, unlike them, it was as a production executive rather than as a
director.
