DeMille was a stage actor and playwright who turned his hand to film directing just before the start of the First World War, incidentally directing the first ever movie in the then sleepy Californian orange-growing hamlet of Hollywood, The Squaw Man (1914), a huge success that he would go on to remake twice.Īlthough famous for his sprawling, mostly biblical, epics DeMille was an experimental and innovative director/producer at this point in his career, not afraid to take a few risks and try out new ideas, this being a point in film production when everyone was influencing everyone.
