Bert Glennon is a Actor, Director, Scriptwriter, Director of Photography and Cinematography American born on 19 november 1893 at Anaconda (USA)
Bert Glennon, né Robert Lawrence Glennon le 19 novembre 1893 à Anaconda (Montana), mort le 29 juin 1967 à Los Angeles — Quartier de Sherman Oaks (Californie), est un directeur de la photographie, réalisateur et acteur américain, membre de l'ASC.
Cette première expérience reste sans lendemain et il devient chef opérateur à l'occasion de Ramona (réputé perdu), réalisé par Donald Crisp et sorti en 1916. Il exerce cette activité sur cent-quinze films américains (dont près de quarante muets), y compris plusieurs westerns. Son dernier long métrage est The Man from Galveston de William Conrad (1963, avec Jeffrey Hunter et James Coburn), après lequel il se retire.
En particulier, Bert Glennon est connu pour sa collaboration avec les réalisateurs Josef von Sternberg (quatre films, dont L'Impératrice rouge en 1934, avec Marlène Dietrich et John Lodge) et John Ford (huit films, dont Rio Grande en 1950, avec John Wayne et Maureen O'Hara). Sinon, il assiste notamment Cecil B. DeMille (deux films, dont Les Dix Commandements, version muette de 1923, avec Theodore Roberts et Charles de Rochefort), Raoul Walsh (deux films, dont La Charge fantastique en 1941, avec Errol Flynn et Olivia de Havilland), Michael Curtiz (quatre films, dont Mission à Moscou en 1943, avec Walter Huston et Ann Harding), Delmer Daves (quatre films, dont La Maison rouge en 1947, avec Edward G. Robinson et Judith Anderson), ou encore André De Toth (quatre films, dont Chasse au gang en 1953, avec Sterling Hayden), entre autres.
En 1940 et 1942, il obtient trois nominations à l'Oscar de la meilleure photographie (voir détails ci-dessous), mais n'en gagne pas.
En marge de son activité principale de chef opérateur, il est aussi réalisateur de neuf films (un seul muet), sortis entre 1928 et 1932, dont Perfect Crime (1928, avec Clive Brook et Irene Rich). Signalons qu'il est également monteur (l'unique fois de sa carrière) du dernier, South of Santa Fe.
Enfin, à la télévision, Bert Glennon est directeur de la photographie sur quatorze séries, de 1955 à 1963.
Il est inhumé au San Fernando Mission Cemetery à Mission Hills (Los Angeles).

Don Gallico (Vincent Price) is a magician, master of disguise, and inventor of stage-magic effects in the late 1800s aspiring to become a star magician under the stage name Gallico the Great. Disguised as The Great Rinaldi, a headlining rival magician, Mr. Gallico performs a number of magic tricks successfully, building up to the reveal of his latest invention, the buzz-saw, an illusion that "severs" the head of the magician's assistant Karen Lee (Mary Murphy). Before Mr. Gallico can perform the buzz-saw illusion, the curtains come down to stop the performance. Businessman Ross Ormond (Donald Randolph) and his lawyer serve Mr. Gallico a cease and desist order against the performance of the buzz-saw trick much to the anger of Mr. Gallico. Ms. Lee's boyfriend, police detective Lt. Alan Bruce (Patrick O'Neal), is asked by her to intervene in the dispute between Mr. Gallico and Mr. Ormond. Mr. Gallico informs the detective that he signed a contract to Mr. Ormond's Illusions, Inc., a magician's trick provider, to invent new tricks, the issue is that Mr. Ormond owns all work created by Mr. Ormond, not just the ones produced for Illusions, Inc., Mr. Gallico's understanding.
