Albert S. Rogell (August 21, 1901 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – April 7, 1988 Los Angeles, California) was an American film director.[1][2][3] Rogell directed more than a hundred movies between 1921 and 1958.[4] He was known for an aggressive directing style, shouting at his actors and crew.[5][6]
Rogell began his career in Hollywood at age 16 as an assistant to director and producer George Loane Tucker. In 1923, he moved to directing with The Greatest Menace. He worked as a director for Universal Pictures and then for First National Pictures. Later in his career, he worked for Columbia Pictures and made patriotic films for Republic Pictures during World War II.[7]
In 1950, his reputation was damaged when he joined a group of directors that campaigned to recall Joseph L. Mankiewicz as president of the Screen Director's Guild after Mankiewicz objected to instituting a loyalty oath.[8] As a result, Rogell moved to television in the 1950s, directing episodes of Broken Arrow and My Friend Flicka.
He was the uncle of producer Sid Rogell.[2]
