Question: Who has written more screenplays, Michael Gordon or B. Reeves Eason?
B. Reeves Eason B. Reeves Eason (October 2, 1886 – June 9, 1956) was an American film director, actor and screenwriter. His directorial output was limited mainly to low-budget westerns and action pictures, but it was as a second-unit director and action specialist that he was best known. He was famous for staging spectacular battle scenes in war films and action scenes in large-budget westerns, but he acquired the nickname "Breezy" for his "breezy" attitude towards safety while staging his sequences—during the famous cavalry charge at the end of "Charge of the Light Brigade" (1936) that Eason directed, so many horses were killed or injured so severely that they had to be euthanized that both the public and Hollywood itself were outraged, resulting in the selection of the American Humane Society by the beleaguered studios to provide representatives on the sets of all films using animals to ensure their safety.
The Magnificent Ambersons (2002 film) The Magnificent Ambersons is an A&E Network film for television, inspired by Booth Tarkington's novel "The Magnificent Ambersons". It was filmed using Orson Welles's screenplay and editing notes of the original film.
