Harry Joe Brown got his start in the theater, where he was an actor and
director. He went to Hollywood and became a director--mostly of second
features--at Universal Pictures in 1930, then went over to Paramount
from 1932 to 1933. His main focus was as a producer, however, and he
produced quite a few films for Columbia Pictures. In partnership with
actor Randolph Scott and director
Budd Boetticher he turned out a string
of both critically and financially successful westerns at Columbia in
the 1950s.
