Joseph H. Lewis Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Joseph H. Lewis (April 6, 1907 – August 30, 2000) was an American B-movie film director whose stylish flourishes came to be appreciated by auteur theory-espousing film critics in the years following his retirement in 1966. In a 30-year directorial career, he helmed numerous low-budget westerns, action pictures and thrillers and is remembered for original mysteries My Name Is Julia Ross (1945) and So Dark the Night (1946) as well as his most-highly regarded feature, 1949's Gun Crazy, which spotlighted a desperate young couple (Peggy Cummins and John Dall) who embark on a deadly crime spree.

#Quote
1[on the difference between working at a bottom-of-the-barrel studio like PRC and a top-of-the-line studio like MGM] If you asked [MGM] for a little clothes closet, they'd give you an eight-room house.
2[about his arrival in Hollywood] I had grand illusions of being an actor. I sported a great big Adolphe Menjou mustache.
3[explaining how he got the nickname "Wagon Wheel Joe"] I carried a box filled with different wagon wheels. Whenever I'd come to a scene which was just disgraceful in dialogue and all, I'd place a wagon wheel in one portion of the frame, and make an artistic shot out of it, so by the time the scene was over you only saw the artistic value and couldn't analyze what the scene was about.
4[regarding the string of "B" westerns he shot at the beginning of his career] You didn't have actors; you had cowboys who owned a horse.
#Fact
1He and his wife, Buena, had a daughter named Candy.

Lewis, Sidney Lumet, Leo McCarey, Otto Preminger, Don Siegel, Josef von Sternberg, Frank Tashlin, Edgar G. Ulmer, Raoul Walsh." NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1997.

4Brother of Ben Lewis.
5His nickname was "Wagon Wheel Joe," a name he received early in his career when he was shooting B Westerns for Universal. He had a penchant for framing shots through the spokes of the nearest wagon wheel, to break up the visual monotony of a scene. Several of the editors at Universal complained to the studio brass that they had a hard time cutting Lewis' films because "he keeps putting these damn wagon wheels in front of everything." Director Oliver Drake, a friend of Lewis' and also his boss on those Westerns, jokingly referred to him as "Wagon Wheel Joe," and the name stuck.
