Val Lewton - Producer

Working under David O. Selznick for years finally netted Lewton a producing job at RKO. Here he turned out some of the best horror films ever made and started many successful careers in the industry: Robert Wise and Jacques Tourneur among them. You will find a nice article about him listed in the "Links" section. Here is a trailer from "The Seventh Victim", perhaps his most "noirish" and downbeat film.
