Mini Biography

Roy Rowland studied legislation at the College or university of Southern California, then joined MGM being a script clerk. As though getting that work wasn’t enough all the best in the center of the Melancholy, he also wedded the niece of MGM key Louis B. Mayer. He sharpened his directing chops at MGM with some shorts beginning in the 1930s, then moved up to features in 1943. He spent a substantial amount of time on the studio room, from 1943-51 and once again from 1954-58. Without among the studio’s top-rank directors, he could possibly be counted to deliver marketed “B” pictures–which, at MGM, had been often much better than almost every other studios’ “A” pictures–and an intermittent “A” production, in a number of styles, including musicals (Match Me in NEVADA (1956)) and dramas (Our Vines Possess Sensitive Grapes (1945)). He was also in charge of the hard, fast-paced Rogue Cop (1954), mostly of the MGM films that might be regarded “film noir”. The final film he produced at MGM was a “B” western with Stewart Granger, Weapon Glory (1957), and he produced an action picture for independent release predicated on a Mickey Spillane “Mike Hammer” novel starring Spillane himself (THE LADY Hunters (1963)), and he traveled to European countries for any string of Italian-made westerns and costume dramas. His last film as movie director was a relatively cheesy pirate film (he was uncredited; his Italian co-director Sergio Bergonzelli got single credit)) known as Il grande colpo di Surcouf (1966). He was associate maker on Nathan Juran’s Italian-shot Property Raiders (1969), and he retired. He was the daddy of acting professional Steve Rowland. Roy Rowland died in 1995, in age 84, in Orange, California..
