He had been a director of some of the most successful like comedies and escapist movies in hollywood throughout the 1930s. He came up doing laurel and hardy silent shorts and when sound came in, he did everything from swing time, a fred astaireginger rogers musical and woman of the year, Katharine Hepburn and spencer tracy. Each of these directors had Different Reasons for going in. For stevens, who, like all of the directors, was old enough that he couldve gotten a civilian exemption from the war, he really wanted what he called a seat on the 50 yard line of history. He felt it was a patriotic duty to go. He had been chafing in hollywood because he felt pigeonholed into making these very light movies when he had wanted to make some films with more contemporary or war related content, and when he was not able to do it at rko or columbia, he jumped at the chance to do it in the army and for the army.

His work on the war was the most wide ranging and in some ways historically significant in terms of the camp footage of any directors during the war. Let me follow up on that point because he was a member of the u. S. Army signal corps under the leadership of general eisenhower who was responsible for the historic invasion on dday 70 years ago this year. Where was George Stevens during that time in june of 1944 . Stevens was right there at dday. You know, just as john ford was at dday supervising the filming effort made by the navy, stevens was there overseeing the shooting done by the army and of all the major battles and turning points in the war, dday was the one that allied film makers had the longest and best opportunity to prepare for. This was a filming effort that involved hundreds of cameras, both stationary and manned, and dozens of cameramen. And stevens, you k
