For more than three decades, Henry King was the most versatile and reliable (not to mention hard-working) contract director on the 20th Century-Fox lot. His tenure lasted from 1930 to 1961, spanning most of Hollywood's "golden" era. King was renowned as a specialist in literary adaptations (A Bell for Adano (1945), The Sun Also Rises (1957)) and ...

# Quote 1 I've had more fun directing pictures than most people have playing games. 2 [on Errol Flynn ] Errol Flynn was a joy, a lovely man, and most of the talk about him is nothing but rumor by people who didn't even know him. He loved to talk about how much he could drink and the women he'd made love to, but most of it was just the rationalizations of a disappointed moralist. He was the hardest-working, most down-to-earth actor I have ever worked with. 3 [on Alice Faye ] Not only is she my favorite actress, she is a favorite person.
# Fact 1 Around the time of filming The White Sister (1923), King converted from the Methodist church to Catholicism. 2 King's grandfather served under Robert E. Lee during the American Civil War. 3 Was originally set to direct Way of a Gaucho (1952) with Tyrone Power in the leading role, but in May 1951 he requested a transfer to another picture and was replaced by Jacques Tourneur . 4 Profiled in "American Classic Screen Interviews" (Scarecrow Press). [2010] 5 King and his brother, director Louis King , both worked at 20th Century-Fox at the same time in the 1940s. While Henry got large-scale, "important" pictures, Louis was usually given lower-budget outdoors pictures, mysteries or westerns. Henry's "prestige" picture, Wilson (1944), was a very expensive flop, though, while Louis' low-budget outdoors picture Smoky (1946) was one of Fox's biggest moneymakers that year. Shotly after "Smoky" was released, Henry stopped Louis on the lot one day and said, "I've just come from the accounting office and seen the figures. 'Smoky' has now earned what we lost on 'Wilson' ". 6 He was the first owner of a Waco SRE Aristrocrat cabin biplane that was completed on July 2, 1940. The base price was $17,800, making it among the most expensive private aircraft of its time; only 29 SRE's and similar ARE's and HRE's were built before World War II ended production in 1942. An avid pilot, King scouted for shooting locations from the air and was a founder of the Civil Air Patrol during World War II and he undoubtedly used the SRE for those tasks. King's SRE was later owned by Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc., and a May 1954 photograph of it while owned by Fairchild appears on page 102 of the Summer 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Aviation Historical Society. 7 Co-founder, with Charles H. Duell and Richard Barthelmess , of Inspiration Pictures in 1921. 8 Directed 8 different actors in Oscar-nominated performances: Alice Brady , Jennifer Jones , Charles Bickford , Gladys Cooper , Anne Revere , Alexander Knox , Dean Jagger and Gregory Peck . Brady, Jones and Jagger won Oscar for their performances in one of King's movies. 9 Biography in: John Wakeman, editor. "World Film Directors, Volume One, 1890-1945." Pages 535-542. New York: The H.W. Wilson Company, 1987. 10 One of the 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).
