While attending Stanford University in 1912, Bert Glennon was hired as
an assistant cameraman, and, upon graduation, went into the film
business full-time. Becoming a director of photography in 1916, Glennon
became one of the industry's most respected craftsmen and worked often
for such perfectionist directors as
John Ford and
Cecil B. DeMille. His success as
a cinematographer didn't carry over to his attempts at directing,
however; the few films he directed from 1928 to 1932 were increasingly
mediocre, and he gave up his attempts at directing to resume his
distinguished cinematography career, where he stayed until his
retirement in 1963.
