George Schneiderman (parfois crédité George Schneidermann), A.S.C., né le 20 septembre 1894 à New York (État de New York), mort le 19 novembre 1964 à Los Angeles — Quartier de Van Nuys (Californie), est un directeur de la photographie américain.

Biography

George Schneiderman débute au cinéma sur deux films sortis en 1915, d'une part Embrasse-moi, idiot de Frank Powell (comme cadreur), d'autre part Carmen de Raoul Walsh (comme chef opérateur), chacun avec Theda Bara. Il retrouve celle-ci sur deux réalisations de J. Gordon Edwards, Cléopâtre (1917, où Fritz Leiber personnifie Jules César) et Salomé (1918) — à noter que les trois derniers films pré-cités (avec l'actrice dans les rôles-titres) sont à ce jour réputés perdus, partiellement ou entièrement —.

Jusqu'en 1940, année où il se retire, Schneiderman contribue en tout à quatre-vingt-sept films américains (dont cinquante-quatre muets), y compris plusieurs westerns. Il reste surtout connu comme l'un des collaborateurs attitrés de John Ford, qu'il assiste sur vingt-deux de ses films (dont plusieurs également réputés perdus), le premier étant Just Pals (1920, avec Buck Jones et Helen Ferguson) ; les trois derniers sont Le Monde en marche (1934, avec Madeleine Carroll et Franchot Tone), Judge Priest (1934, avec Will Rogers et Anita Louise), et Steamboat Round the Bend (1935, avec Will Rogers et Anne Shirley). Dans l'intervalle, il retrouve John Ford notamment sur Le Cheval de fer (1924, avec George O'Brien), Trois Sublimes Canailles (1926, avec George O'Brien et J. Farrell MacDonald), La Maison du bourreau (1928, avec Victor McLaglen), et Doctor Bull (1933, avec Will Rogers et Marian Nixon).

Outre les quatre réalisateurs déjà nommés, George Schneiderman travaille aussi avec Frank Lloyd (ex. : Les Misérables, adaptation de 1917 du roman de Victor Hugo, avec William Farnum jouant Jean Valjean), D.W. Griffith (Le Grand Amour en 1918, avec George Fawcett et Lillian Gish), Leo McCarey (Madame et ses partenaires en 1930, avec Edmund Lowe et Leila Hyams), ou encore Frank Borzage (ex. : Jeune Amérique en 1932, avec Spencer Tracy et Ralph Bellamy), entre autres.

In the year 1890, the honorable Judge William Priest enforces justice in an old Kentucky town. The film begins with the comedic trial of Jeff Poindexter. Jeff Poindexter, a black man, has been accused of stealing chickens. Although Judge Priest is presiding, he is reading a newspaper while Senator Horace Maydew argues the plaintiff’s case. In fact, no one, but Senator Maydew, seems to care about the case. Jeff Poindexter sleeps through Senator Maydew’s testimony. After Senator Maydew is finished with his argument, Judge Priest asks the sheriff to wake up Jeff Poindexter. When Jeff reveals he got his name from Major Randolph Poindexter, Judge Priest and the other confederate veterans in attendance become very excited. They praise Major Poindexter’s ability to lick the Yankees. While the confederate veterans reminisce over the civil war, Senator Maydew complains that such history has nothing to do with the case. Judge Priest says it is relevant because Major Poindexter would often steal Yankee chickens. Next, Jeff reveals he was only trying to fish for catfish. Judge Priest, a fishing enthusiast himself, has a discussion with Jeff about his fishing. After the trial, Jeff lives with Judge Priest.
