Joshua Logan

Prima di approdare a Hollywood Joshua Logan (1908 – 1988) aveva già riscosso un certo successo come regista teatrale, sia in collegio – avendo lavorato con Henry Fonda e James Stewart – sia a Broadway. A cavallo della Seconda Guerra Mondiale si divideva proficuamente fra palcoscenico e set cinematografico. Picnic (1955), adattamento della propria messa in scena dell’eponima opera teatrale di William Inge, gli è valso una candidatura all’Oscar per miglior regia.

Before coming to Hollywood, Joshua Logan (1908 – 1988) had already found acclaim as a theater director, first in college, working with Henry Fonda and James Stewart, then on Broadway. Before and after World War II, he successfully oscillated between stage and screen productions. Picnic (1955) was adapted from his own staging of William Inge’s eponymous play and earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Director.
