William Wyler

William Wyler (July 1, 1902 - July 27, 1981) was a prolific and award-winning motion picture director. He was known to require tens of takes for every shot in his films, and for demanding control over the story, location, and crew of each production, yet his exacting nature and attention to detail paid off in the form of both popular and critical success.
