Biography
From 1944 to 1951, Harmon Jones was one of the leading lights of the 20th Century-Fox film-editing department. Jones graduated to the director's chair with the
Monty Woolley vehicle
As Young as You Feel (1951), which featured up-and-coming
Marilyn Monroe. His first directorial projects showed promise, especially his brace of baseball pictures-- Pride of St. Louis (1952) and
The Kid from Left Field (1953). Soon, however, Jones was churning out routine westerns and so-so costume flicks. Harmon Jones switched to television in the late 1950s, returning to the big screen in 1966 for one last feature, the
Morey Amsterdam-
Rose Marie starrer Don't Worry, We'll Think of a Title (1966). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
