Don Medford (1917–2012)

Trivia:

For nearly four decades, he was one of the most prolific of American television directors, possibly best remembered for helming the final two episodes of The Fugitive, watched by a then-record audience of 78 million. His trademark was 'day for night' shooting (underdeveloping a print shot in daytime during post-production to make it look like a scene shot at night)... See more trivia »
