Were film director Victor Fleming’s legacy limited to his two best-known films – "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) and "Gone with the Wind" (1939) – he would have one of the most successful track records in Hollywood history. But the prolific filmmaker also oversaw a number of other popular and critically acclaimed films during his three-decade long career behind the camera including Captains Courageous (1937), Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941), The Virginian (1929) and "Red Dust" (1932) and Joan of Arc (1948). Victor also directed some of the greatest talent during the Golden Age of Hollywood including Douglas Fairbanks, Vivien Leigh, Olivia de Havilland, Jean Harlow, Wallace Beery, Spencer Tracy, Gary Cooper, Hedy Lamarr, John Garfield and dozens more.
Fun Fact
While in the middle of filming Victor Fleming was not above physically assaulting the actors to get the desired results (including slapping Judy Garland for giggling during the production of Wizard of Oz).
Did we mention he was fervent supporter of the Nazi’s during WWII? Yes … yes he was.
