Seymour Friedman

Born in Detroit, Cambridge-educated 'Seymour Friedman' (qv) entered films in 1937 as an assistant editor, eventually graduating to assistant director. After WW II service, he returned to the film industry as a director, mainly of routine, low-budget action films, many for Columbia Pictures, debuting with _Trapped by Boston Blackie (1948)_ (qv). After his film career ended, Friedman, like many of his fellow B directors, went into the television industry. However, unlike them, it was as a production executive rather than as a director.::frankfob2@yahoo.com
