Harry Keller

director, editor, producer

Harry Keller was born on Feb 22, 1913 in USA. Harry Keller's big-screen debut came with Mystery of the White Room directed by Otis Garrett in 1939. Harry Keller is known for Act of Violence directed by Paul Wendkos, Elizabeth Montgomery stars as Catherine McSweeney and James Sloyan as Tony Bonelli. The most recent award Harry Keller achieved is Boxoffice Magazine Awards. The upcoming new movie Harry Keller plays is Transylvania 6-5000 which will be released on Nov 08, 1985.

Entering the film business as an editor in 1936, Harry Keller began directing in the late 1940s, and soon was at Republic, specializing in westerns. When that studio folded he went to Universal, directing westerns again, interspersed with some dramas, comedies and war pictures. In the late 1960s he stopped directing films and started producing them, although he did keep his hand in directing TV shows. Keller gained some degree of fame as the director called in by Universal to reshoot scenes from Orson Welles' masterpiece La soif du mal (1958), and by most accounts (including Welles') matched Welles' style quite well--although, as one Universal executive said, "Harry Keller's not a bad director, but he's Harry Keller, and Orson Welles is Orson Welles . . . ".
