A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jack H. Harris first entered
show business by way of vaudeville, singing and dancing with
Cliff Edwards' (aka "Ukeleke Ike")
Kiddie Revue at age six. Working his way up from an early job as a
theater usher, Harris went into publicity and learned distribution,
eventually opening his own offices. Dissatisfied with the minor
black-and-white films foisted upon him, he quickly developed an itch to
produce his own pictures. Linking up with the moviemaking ministers of
Pennsylvania's Valley Forge Film Studios, Harris collaborated on
The Blob (1958), a film that eventually
grossed more than a hundred times its $240,000 cost. In the decades
since, Harris has followed up on this early success with
4D Man (1959),
Dinosaurus! (1960),
Eyes of Laura Mars (1978) and
a "Blob" sequel
(
Son of Blob (1972)) and a
remake (
The Blob (1988)).
