William Dozier est un acteur et producteur américain, né le 13 février 1908 à Omaha, Nebraska (États-Unis) et mort le 23 avril 1991 à Santa Monica (États-Unis).

Biography

Il est le deuxième mari de Joan Fontaine dont il a une fille, Déborah Leslie.

Dozier a étudié le droit à l’université Creighton en 1929. Avec Joan Fontaine, il fonde Rampart Prods, qui produit Lettre d'une inconnue (1948), librement inspiré d'une nouvelle de S. Zweig, et Harriet Craig. Au début des années 1950, il produit diverses séries dramatiques pour CBS : You Are There, Ben Hecht's Tales of the City ou Suspense.

Mais il reste dans les mémoires comme le narrateur de la série télévisée Batman (1966–1968), bien qu'il n'en soit crédité au générique que comme le producteur ; pour cette série, il recrute Adam West et crée le personnage de la Batgirl, qui sera repris dans la bande dessinée. Il fut aussi le narrateur de la série Le Frelon vert, avec Van Williams et Bruce Lee. Dozier fit des bouts d'essais pour une version (restée inédite) de Wonder Woman en 1967.

En 1979, Dozier réapparaît sur le petit écran dans l'adaptation télé de La Chasse aux diplômes dans le rôle de Lindsey (épisode 22 de la première saison: "Scavenger Hunt").

Famous motion picture producer and writer Jesse Craig (Glenn Ford) attends a film festival on the French Riviera. He has not been actively making films for a few years and some in the film industry think he has retired, but he comes to the Riviera with a new screenplay to show it to his friend and film/literary agent Brian Murphy (Eddie Albert) who is attending the festival. The screenplay is a cautionary tale about terrorists attacking major cities in the United States using hijacked commercial airliners containing nuclear bombs as the attack vehicles. No one knows the content of the script or its author who Craig claims is a new writer by the name of Malcolm Hart.

When Batman (West) and Robin (Ward) get a tip that Commodore Schmidlapp (Reginald Denny) is in danger aboard his yacht, they launch a rescue mission using the batcopter. As Batman descends on the bat-ladder to land on the yacht it suddenly vanishes beneath him. He rises out of the sea with a shark attacking his leg. After Batman dislodges it with bat-shark repellant, the shark explodes. Batman and Robin head back to Commissioner Gordon's office, where they deduce that the tip was a set-up by the United Underworld, a gathering of four of the most powerful villains in Gotham City (Joker, Penguin, Riddler and Catwoman).
