Jack Garfein

Czechoslovakian-born 'Jack Garfein' (qv) survived imprisonment in the Auschwitz concentration camp during WW2 and came to the US at age 15. After a few years of college, he became a stage actor, then a director. After his Broadway directorial debut in 1953, he joined the Actors Studio, and married one of his fellow students, 'Carroll Baker' (qv). Although Garfein directed a number of TV shows and numerous Broadway plays, his film output has been minimal, with only three films since 1957. One of them was _Something Wild (1961)_ (qv) starring his wife, an offbeat little film about a rape victim's growing relationship with a man who rescues her from a suicide attempt, then imprisons her in his basement apartment, hoping that she will fall in love with him.::frankfob2@yahoo.com
