Alex Gordon and his equally movie-crazy brother Richard Gordon haunted English movie theaters as boys before emigrating to New York in 1947. Richard remained East Coast-based as he forged a career as a film distributor and producer, while Alex set down roots in Hollywood, where he got in on the ground floor at AIP and produced the company's Day the World Ended (1955), The She-Creature (1956) and many more. He later left AIP to become an independent producer, turning out such films as Le Sous-marin atomique (1959), La Cité sous-marine (1962) and the westerns Chasseur de primes (1965) and Le glas du hors-la-loi (1965). After his producing career wrapped, Alex accepted a position at 20th Century-Fox, where he instituted a film restoration program and rediscovered more than 30 Fox films that had been considered lost. In 1976, he left Fox for the Gene Autry Organization, becoming vice-president of a company owned by the B-western hero he had admired as a boy (Alex had been the president of the British Gene Autry Fan Club) and worked for as a young man (he was advance man on Autry's cross-country personal appearance tours in the 1950s).
