Lloyd Francis Bacon (December 4, 1889 – November 15, 1955) was an American screen, stage and vaudeville actor and film director.
As a director he made films in virtually all genres, including westerns, musicals, comedies, gangster films, and crime dramas.
He was one of the directors at Warner Bros.
in the 1930s who helped give that studio its reputation for gritty, fast-paced "torn from the headlines" action films.
And, in directing Warner Bros.' 42nd Street, he joined the movie's song-and-dance-number director, Busby Berkeley, in contributing to "an instant and enduring classic [that] transformed the musical genre."
