Personal Quote:
[on Mickey Rooney, who he directed in Baby Face Nelson (1957)] . . . I admired his skill and loathed his personality. See more »Trivia:
Siegel and screenwriter Stephen Geller (The Valachi Papers (1972), Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)) once collaborated on a script of "The First Deadly Sin" (based on the novel), to be directed by Siegel. The project fell through, however, and a different version was filmed several years later. See more »Trademark:
Strong male characters and scheming female characters (if there were any major female characters in the stories at all), frequently leading to charges of misogyny See more »Star Sign:
