Jerry Warren

Jerry Warren (March 10, 1925[2] – August 21, 1988) was an American film director, producer, editor, screenwriter, cinematographer, and actor. Warren grew up wanting to get into the film business in Los Angeles, California.[3] He appeared in small parts in a few 1940s films such as Ghost Catchers, Anchors Aweigh, and Unconquered.[3] After meeting with producers, Warren took on his first film as a director and producer with Man Beast in 1956.[3] He initially created his own films, although relying heavily on stock footage. Later, he would just buy foreign films that already existed and re-edit them, dubbing some scenes in English and inserting new footage which he shot with American actors such as John Carradine and Katherine Victor.[4] Warren even wrote some screenplays for his films under the nom de plume "Jacques Lecoutier", which he sometimes misspelled in the credits.[5]
