Erle C. Kenton entered films as an actor with the Mack Sennett troupe (he was one of the original Keystone Kops). In addition to acting, he performed pretty much any kind of behind-the-scenes job he could get, and by 1919 Sennett gave him a job directing two-reel comedies. The next year he graduated to features. While specializing in comedies (he directed two of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's best films, Deux nigauds dans une île (1942) and Deux nigauds détectives (1942)), Kenton also branched out into the horror field, turning out a few somewhat interesting efforts (La maison de Dracula (1945), La Maison de Frankenstein (1944)) and one genuine classic: L'Île du Dr. Moreau (1932). In the 1950s, like many of his B-picture colleagues, he turned to television and finished his career there.
